  • Basically nothing is sold to cover the cost. That’s the basic of how making a profit works. So let’s start from there. Second, when you make a digital product, you invest X and you have no idea how many copies you will sell. It’s much harder to compute the marginal cost compared to a physical item. Videogames are a luxury item, they are by no means necessary. So there is no harm in letting demand and offer regulate the price. If you feel that paying a certain amount is not worth for a game, you don’t pay it, or you wait until the price drops.







  • Saving lives isn’t a “relative concept.” I said nobody will be brought out of poverty from this, which is true.

    No it’s not.

    The fact that you keep denying it, doesn’t mean I need to debunk jack. You are saying “you can’t be brought out of poverty, because in a global perspective if you earn more than 3$ a day, you are not poor”, or at least, I am paraphrasing. I am saying that’s bullshit, because poverty is a relative concept and you can absolutely be poor even if you are above what is globally considered the threshold of poverty.

    I am focusing on this part because it is the basis of your argument. Also:

    • you have realistically no idea about the condition of the people who benefit from this
    • being in debt is a situation that in itself can cause people to take their own lives, making your statement also arbitrary (no life was saved)

    Calling poor people in the first world rich is again, dumb. Deal with this, no organization that focuses on poverty does it, and nobody would consider - say - a welfare check “keeping money on the top”.

    I don’t know if you genuinely don’t get class divisions or if you just search for conflict online (I have seen you around…).
