  Can tell you’ve been on the Internet too long! Nice rebuttal to a simple explanation of making money go further.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Capcom President Thinks Game Prices Are 'Too Low' - IGN⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Why not. 3 dollars for a couple of hours of entertainment is poor cost efficiency compared with what I’ve got out of some games. Don’t get me wrong, capcom don’t need to raise prices as I’m pretty sure they make plenty of money already, but cinema is not cost effective entertainment compared with a video game.

  I can’t believe I’m saying it but but I’m with Google here. They are sub-cons so negotiation would surely go through their employer who is cognizant. I’m a sub-contractor, I’m not gonna go to the client and ask for a raise, I’m gonna go to my employer. Maybe it’s different in different regions but if I asked the client for a raise in the uk they would probably just laugh at me.

  Not equivalent unless you pay a yearly subscription for your door. Unity is a subscription and so terms can be changed. It sucks but we need to ween off the subscriptions or this will keep happening.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Unity temporarily closes offices amid death threats following contentious pricing changes⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  This is a reminder that paying for a subscription means t&cs can be changed. You aren’t buying the engine etc just a license to access/use it for a period of time. Stop buying subscriptions!

  This is silly thinking. Just because you can’t be bothered doesn’t mean someone else can’t and do a good job. You should probably YouTube component level repairs before wildly stating that 3rd party techs can’t do it. They already do it but it’s a bit of a learning process for each device due to the lack of documentation etc. Provide docs and access to parts and it’s then alot easier for the people who already can do these types of repairs and then we can all create less ewaste.

  The problem is that they don’t want money any more. They want attention.

  I’ll pronounce it a shitter I think!

  They robbed Elon in the deal? They accepted his deal. He robbed himself!

  Using amazon for it’s reviews? Isn’t that one of the least trustworthy aspects of amazon?

  Yeah because text is a form of communication that is really easy to get subtext/tone from /s

  I’d say that’s its because there’s only really 1 country that’s going to buy it in large numbers but the reality is it’s the standard ea tax. Stop buying it every year or stop complaining.
