Quoted from playtwowin:If I was the Manufacturer and I found out we were having customers not buy our games because the distributors are trying to make even more money I would be very upset. I also would be looking for some new distributors. That's just me.
Here's where you don't really get it. The Distributors BUY the inventory from Stern, those machines now belong to the Distro. They also support the buyer, so they don't need to contact Stern direct for issues. IF games don't get sold by the Distro because they overpriced them, Stern still made their money, so why would they care?
They can't "sell more", the Distro probably wanted more than they got already.
The Distro can't "buy more", Stern sold them their allotment.
Now, the Distro also has more buyers than games, and everyone wants the game NOW!
So, what do you think the Distro's next move is?
The thought of customers not buying games because of price is just wrong, they aren't buying because there isn't enough inventory.
