What does digital distribution do to a supply/demand curve?

[MrPopo]

I consider all digital download games rentals, and I pay accordingly.

GOG.com says hi.

I've yet to pay more than $3 for a game on GoG.

That doesn't say much when the average price is $6 and they have a lot of sales.

You mean it doesn't say much besides specifically proving my point, right?

The model you are using doesn't apply. Supply isn't fixed, and there's no perfect competition because each product is a monopoly. (No two people manufacture the same game). It's a model, a simplification, but not a law!

It's easier to think this way: You have something I want. You can set a price but I decide what it's worth and if that worth isn't enough to cover the price, I won't buy it. Normally you would want to sell your stuff so you set a competitive price.

It would seem to be about competing for the consumer's money. Everyone has a fixed amount of money to spend on video games. With unlimited supply, it's just a matter of where this money is spent.
