sell half a game probably for full price.
sell each track seperately for probably 10$ each
sell as much other BS they can get away with for as much as they feel they can gourge the market for.
end result you pay probably 3x as much as you would if it was all together and to top it all off everything is probably on the disc already to save on bandwidth costs ....
what a disgusting idea.F1 2010 creator Codemasters has a novel idea it could use to combat the threat of second hand videogame sales – sell half a game in shops and the other half as downloadable content.
That, according to CEO Rod Cousens, would not only help tackle the earnings lost from used game sales but piracy, too.
"It's not inconceivable to say that we send out a Formula One game that's not complete - maybe it's got six tracks," he told Eurogamer sister site GamesIndustry.biz.
"Then they have to buy their next track, and you follow it around the world. When you turn up in Abu Dhabi you have to pay for the circuit, and whatever the changes are to the cars that are put through.
"That, I think, would deal with a lot of it, and also address the pre-owned."
