Could have, assuming that the people who paid $7 would have still payed $20. This just isn't the case.

It's been the case for many, many years and remains the case today as well.

Appstore-like pricing is the exception, not the rule.

I think you misunderstand. It's not true that everyone who paid $7 would pay $20.
No it's you who misunderstand.

That some of the 6000 purchasers today would not pay $20 is irrelevant, others would and others from the remaining millions of game players would too.

You also disregard that I already factored in a 50% - 75% discount - the prices I put assumed a $5 - $10 price on sale.

Okay, we're talking about two totally different things.

Cheers.
