Prices are now capped. If an older game gets above 8k, it will be remade, so that is the cap for older stuff. If a Stern game gets too much above 5k, it will come out of the vault. If the prices are below that, it won't be worth remaking. So it really is a shift.

So the only other shoe would be if they could do them cheaper. A 5k AFM will get some attention, but an 8k one is a bit tougher sale. So we will wander between the low and the high now.

And I do think all of this makes the market more unsure. You hope you were not the guy that paid 6k for an IM 2 days before the launch, and you KNOW you won't be the guy buying a 6k LOTR now. So you will take your money and close your wallet. Their next game comes out, what do you do? Do you buy, or think hey, next month it might be NIB LOTR!
