Indeed, one of the major factors that nearly "killed" PC gaming is the shift in retail (which was eventually shifted back in favor of PCs with digital distribution).

I fundamentally feel you've gotten this backwards. If you go back that far in time, then multi-platform releases in general were a dead area.

Yeah but this price calculation is all bullshit Luke, Sony is calculating the taxes on top of the final $1850 price which doesn´t make sense since they need to calculate that on top of the import cost which is $399, also this import cost is also wrong cause if it is correct it means Sony is buying their own product…
