Hi Dark: That is true. Our prices for audio games are more or less what one would pay for an average indie developed game for PC or Mac. However, that is sort of missing the point.
The basic point was compared to a lot of mainstream games, by that big name games for console and PC, our games are over all cheaper than most. Plus indie games tend to be less complex, less in depth, in some ways to big name console games. I suppose one reason console games are so expensive is you are also paying for the physical media such as the DV D or blue ray disk it is burned on, and a printed manual which jacks up the price. Most indie games are sold online and are downloadable which cuts out the cost for physical media and printed manuals thus cutting costs. Cheers!
