Bad math. $49.99 is retail, not wholesale.

Yep.

A lot of folks seem to think that the price the game is selling for is the amount of money the Developer/Producer is recouping. That is nowhere near accurate.

There are quite a few costs associated with creating/selling a videogame that are not completely evident to the mainstream consumer.

Aybody want to take a guess at how much it would cost to advertise SHIV on FOX during an episode of "24"? ;) :)

Hint: It ain't free. lol
