Ha, ha, ok I guess...

I ain't voting for those games they're trash!

Is it 'logical' if you don't have any numbers or stats?

I don't even think publishers make an attempt to track if people are double dippers on other consoles let alone on PC platforms.

Excellent, I voted for all :)

Wait. Is this directed at me? You'd need to be a telepath to divine to whom/what you are responding, as you've not apparently figured out forum quotes yet...

And tell me I didn't write 500 words to clarify, and you still got it wrong?

Double dipping rhetoric? Is coming from the reviews here on gog. Many game reviews mention how they own a game on steam but they re-buy here because they want a drm free copy.
In order to get data on a % of sales that double dip you'd have to ask everyone on gog which games they own mutilple copies of.

You don't have to apply numbers & stats for something to be "logical" it's called common sense.

Maybe "reasoning" is more accurate. Don't feel like arguing over it.

I'm going to just chime in and say I disagree with that statement. A logical argument may not always be right, but it is based on facts, evidence and a systematic way of thinking.

Common sense is more related to intuition. It's something that feels like the right thing to do.

I'll just bugger off now... :-)

Supply problems do in fact exist for digital goods. Source codes can be lost, companies can be shut down and digital goods do in fact take up space, digital space ie memory storage on servers and on computers.

Currently on page 29 on the all-time bestsellers list - not too shabby after just 72 hours.

No it's not just related to intuition.

Common sense is also based on experience & observations which is the foundation of logical reasoning.

Sorry, I'm a shitty engineer here.

How do you make decisions on what's unknown if you don't know what you're working with?

I agree that common sense is based on experience and observations derived from those experiences, but experience itself is very subjective. Logical reasoning dismisses subjective experiences and ideas to find an objective truth based solely on facts and evidence.

You have to also consider that common sense relies not just on experience and observations, but also societal norms and expectations which are also highly subjective. It may be common sense to assume that 180 degrees refers to the temperature in Celsius elsewhere but, in America, Fahrenheit is considered to be the standard unit of temperature.

That means logic and common sense are somewhat opposed and very different from each other.

The point rojimboo wanted to make here is that the simple relation between supply and demand in case of already EXISTING supply is not given anymore. So in this case, since GOG already HAS a copy of the game, the supply is - theoretically - infinite. Yes, GOG could close their business and the servers on which the game is stored could go down but none of these arguments are part of the actual supply/demand relation (less supply and more demand = higher price) because GOG does not expect to "lose" supply anytime soon. Demand is only dependent on the price alone here because for the user as well at least it seems as if the supply is infinite because those things mentioned above are pretty rare and not expected. Things would be different if the customer were aware that GOG only owns the legal rights for X months or years or if someone would have told the customers that GOGs time is amost over or their servers will go down soon ... all those things COULD happen but are so unlikely that it's not part of the customer's purchase decision.

Do sales on GoG usually shrink? It was $5 CDN when I bought it and now it's $10 CDN.
