Do video game manufacturers make money when games are sold at discount price?

If a person was to buy a game at a discount retailer as opposed to a full price store, will the game manufacturer still make the same amount of money?



If somebody wanted to support the game manufacturer, what is the best way for them to buy a game? At EB Games? Walmart? Discount seller on the internet?
