I like where you're going. So the value of a pizza is really that is has to be made again and again and those costs involved. Inventory is replenished weekly, employees hired, etc. Ok, so my team writes a program called Cheese pizza. We made it one time and it is so good. How did we write it, store it, market it, distribute it and are these things free to me?
@Kerrigan If you write a program called Cheese pizza you don't ever have to rewrite it. Once you've written it, you can sell it to anyone who wants it just by right clicking copy and paste, free of charge. You don't need to new ingredients, no factory production, no time to cook nothing. You just click and you instanly have a copy. Now about marketing this is something that could come with extra costs (like every product) but a digital game just wins so much money from being copyable that it makes up for it.
Also the Kits trailer is made with the actual game itself. No need for advertising costs, they simply use the game and some fancy transitions.
So yeah, you sell one pizza to a person who buys it for 20 bucks because you have to cook it every time, use new ingredients, maybe have them sit at your restaurant, or pay a delivery guy.
When you sell a digital game, you just copy it for free but you charge the same amount of money every time even though the copying doesn't come with expenses. Also copying the game is instant so you don't lose time and there is no delivery fee since it is all digital and works over the internet. A digital game has so many reduced expenses compared to a physical product.
