The transition from physical to digital distribution of video games has represented a revolution for the industry, but the economic benefits of this transformation have not been equally shared with consumers. This is what Tim Cain, legendary gaming figure and co-creator of the Fallout series, claims, who has worked for studios of the caliber of Interplay, Troika and Obsidian. His reflections, shared on his YouTube channel, offer an interesting insight into the economic mechanisms that regulate the videogame market.
According to Cain, eliminating physical production costs generated substantial savings that publishers essentially kept for themselves. \
