You might expect the cost of a non-physical game to cost a lot less than the digital version. There is no need for production of an item or transport costs, so why do publishers charge the same? All games discs are printed and manufactured by the console makers. Sony and Microsoft print all of these and they cost roughly $1.50 to make. Sony then makes a royalty on a...
