I miss my 10yo tripleA games for a 1/400 th of my salary

thats the problem innit, we live off our labor. i shouldn’t have picked hard mode

I remember vividly this rich family talking about how they could buy whatever version of Playstation was out back in the early 2010s. Meaning that they paid the full speculative price of thousands of dollars.

It’s a big world out there and games only sell a few million globally.

I think the answer is that the actual calculus is ‘how much is this market-demographic willing to pay for our game’. Which is something that developers have to do on their own with multiple concerns in mind.

Some indie devs quickly turn countries like Brazil from their largest piracy market to their largest actual market just by giving them a bigger discount. Other devs don’t have to care about that sort of thing, and assume that their niche / mainstream product will be bought regardless and that the gains from further discounts do not outweigh the discount themselves.

Hyperinflation accelerates the latter logic. Whatever turkish people or argentineans have the money to buy games at this point will pay the full exchange rate - or get an EU/US friend to buy the game for them. Especially if multiplayer. With the full erosion of purchasing power in a country your market shrinks to that country’s elite. And the well connected few.

the level of wonkiness required to care about the losers presumptive in the republican primaries should be studied

ask him if firefighters are in the 1%

continue on to talk about teachers, but before letting him say that ‘some teachers are really shitty at their job’ ask them if he truly believes there are no driven teachers being rewarded with the shittiest financial means the country can get away with

continue opening the conversation with other occupations, like nurses and construction workers. and ask him, how many nurses it took for a driven and passionate hedge fund manager to make his first billion

don’t even bring up concepts like class war or anything, just talk about the material reality and embody what you want to say rather than explaining it

npr has fallen

they claim that about everyone

it’s incumbent on you @autismdragon@hexbear.net to wield the green book emoji and call mao a liberal revisionist

putin is the only candidate willing to court the anti-putin demographic like this

Follow this business logic to its ultimate conclusion and everything becomes an MLM.
