If Ubi charged the real cost of the game to you, you would pay far more.

Most games in 2011 are not profitable for editors, about 15%-20% of them are. That is including console games.
The ones that are profitable cover the costs of those who aren't. Or not. So sometimes editors make losses (complete P&L)

If an editor charged a price based on number of units sold, you would end up paying soem games several hundred euros or pounds.

If UBI started charging that much they would be out of business, so you see the OP does know the value of money and so does UBI for that matter.

Sure, they'd go out of business. Price of games is a market price, not built from cost + margin

No, he doesn't know the value, because he says Ubi should lower their margin in the current situation.

Thus, following this 'stupid) logic, they should increase it in other situations, to cover their own costs (for instance when they publish their own games).
