I won't spend top dollar on digital games. I'm giving up a lot, so I demand lower prices.

I'm curious what the split is on new games though. I know there's a 90% digital metric that gets thrown around. But I think that's a lot of cheaper games and sales. I want to know what the split is on full priced games.

That's a good point. I haven't bought a physical game for a few years now and I'm certainly not buying anything digital close to full price. The majority is probably under £10.

A lot of digital games can be sold for a cheaper "full price" than physical ones ever could though because of the inherent costs of the inefficient physical distribution network.
