Looks about on par with any other modern launch lineup. I just hope they don't fall into the other trend of modern launch lineups and forget to release anything for the next six months after.
Fallout: New Vegas complete edition and Portal 2. The total is currently $9.98 and i'm seriously considering some random game purely for the purpose of getting a trading card that I find stupid. Goddamn Steam.
You guys realize that the big movie studios actually own most Movie Theater chains, right? Seriously: Sony owns one, Universal owns one, etc. Granted there are smaller theater chains that are not owned by the studios (probably less these days but they still exist) but the big movie theaters are all owned by movie studios. So this concept that they aren't making money off the movies I find nonsensical. The theater may not be getting that money directly, but it's already owned by the studio that owns the theater so who cares?
That hasn't been the case since 1948 when the Supreme Court ruled that things such as theater ownership was a form of virtual monopoly, and in turn caused the studios to sell off the the studios. As a result of this, nearly all of the major Theater Chains are either publicly traded corporations, owned by foreign conglomerates, or in the one case where there is common ownership (National Amusements and Viacom/CBS), they are run as separate entities, with little to no interaction between the two.
