Are PC Games Becoming too Expensive?

.

Now move up to 2010 (this year). A new game hit the market and was making a stink: TORCHLIGHT. As of May 18th, 2010 the game sold over 500,000 copies since its release in October 2009. And it did not take long for the community in the forums to raise a stink of their own with the "Diablo clone" flames. If one was to Google "TORCHLIGHT VS DIABLO" you would find massive pages of the similarities between the games. TORCHLIGHT can be bought for a mere $19.99 these days. This is believed to be where the sales boost came from. While DIABLO I & II can be bought (separately) around $17 - $20, down from the original price of $40
