  • For example. In cyberpunk you are forced to first person in combat. That means to look around a corner you have to put yourself in danger. To mitigate this you can invest in certain cyber ware to see through walls or throw recon grenades. If you would be able to use third person you could just move your camera to look around an object. You would have to design the encounters with that in mind and the thinks like recon grenades or looking through walls get less interesting if you allow the view of the player to fly around without getting in danger. As you can guess I don’t like this and consider it cheesing. Similar example for kingdom come. There are medieval helmets in the game where you can pull the front piece down. That will impair your field of View. But you get more protection. But this could just be cheesed by turning on third person.

    This kind of stuff I mean by cheesed.

    Highlight ist auch momentan in den neuen windows settings. Da gibt’s auch eine Abteilung für Storage Spaces. Der Knopf heiß auf English “Add Space” auf Deutsch steht da… (Trommelwirbel) “Leerzeichen hinzufügen”. Großartig. Also entweder KI Übersetzung oder den Übersetzern einfach nur die Stringtabelle rübergeworfen ohne jeglichen Kontext.





  • You are aware that digital goods do not have a supply in the traditional sense, right? I can buy 500000000 copies of your data and you still will have more of it. Its not possible to apply supply and demand to digital goods because we have unlimited amounts of them.

    And btw what you are saying is quite similar to what I described. The price is found via establishing the amount of money in the market and the willingness to spend. That kinda is a way of looking at the possibility of demand.

    But anyway. The key difference, probably, is looking at who is aiming for what. The companies are looking at extracting maximum value for them. You seem to dislike that.


  • Well… How do you think a price for a product is found in capitalism? You try to find the sweet spot between too cheap and too expensive. When you are cheap more people buy, if you are expensive less people buy. Therefore there is a sweet spot where you make the most money. This obviously is dependent on the people in the market and the money they have. Of course the game publisher can go to the poor people and say that they want 500 money for their stuff. But they don’t have that, so they won’t pay it because they literally can’t.

    Long story short, this is not subsidising, this is publishers extracting the most amount of money from that specific market. Its called capitalism. Love it or hate it.

    And of course products cost different amount of money around the world. Every market is different.
