Relax. Read my post correctly. By "dumb" I mean passive. As in it doesn't bother you.
Doesn't change the fact that DD games cost less to bring to market than physical games, it just isn't something that bothers you (or most consumers, which is fine). What it's "worth" to each individual consumer is still irrelevant to what I and others in this thread are saying though.
I find it strange that people hold this sentiment strictly for games. If they created a product that people have a demand for, why should they not enjoy the benefit of good profit margins. You make a good product, and people want to use it, you deserve a profit. You improve your margins along the way, excellent! More money to justify more investment.
Are digital games less entertaining than physical ones? Because THAT'S what publishers are selling, entertainment value. Not resale value.
Distributions costs might influence YOUR personal buying decisions, but they are truly irrelevant to the experience... Which is where games derive their value.
Concerning oneself with a businesses profit margins doesn't make you a savey shopper. Those margins have nothing to do with whether or not you can get value out of your purchase.
