You are viewing a single comment's thread:
I have already played a few games where "licenses" in-game (part of the game itself, not those games where you buy only the license and not the full game) are directly said to be unnecessary (or something similar), but then the "government", "council", or whatever powerful in-game "organization" does require them. ๐ฎ๐คฏ๐ค

Licenses in a game can serve a purpose, since they created the whole framework. Licenses in life are scams to the max, because they're making us pay for the the 'privilege' to exercise our own inalienable rights. ๐๐๐โจ๐ค

I edited my previous comment to prefer to licenses right within the game !INDEED, to explicitly differentiate from the "licenses" that gamers "buy" to be allowed to play the game. ๐คฏ
What's so !WEIRD is that even if such players already "bought" certain games (their "licenses" in particular), they won't be able to play the game if they haven't been online for a week or so (because the game client must connect to its corresponding server periodically). ๐คฏ

OK, and so noted.
That seems like a very poor design choice and implementation. ๐๐๐โจ๐ค

While that may be a "(very) poor" decision, those games seem to still generate a whole lot of sales though. ๐ค๐คฏ

It's a mystery to me as to why, as I'm so picky about games now, along with everything else, that most are of no interest to me. ๐๐๐โจ๐ค

@savvyplayer told me that players who are pressured into completing a game that they realize they don't like just because they paid a lot for it may be victims of "dark patterns" !INDEED. ๐ค๐งโโ๏ธ๐คฏ๐

I !HOPE that my previous comment is much less confusing now !INDEED after editing it! ๐ค๐คฏ๐
I also remember some games coming for "free" (emphasis on the quotation marks) with some games that are purchased (usually at higher than usual prices). ๐ธ๐คฏ๐คฏ๐

Well, I haven't checked (since I tend to just keep moving forward), but you're going to have a lot of very grateful digital archaeologists.
That sounds like a great scam. ๐๐๐โจ๐ค

Some people would say that such product bundles (games in this case) that come with higher prices than when bought separately in most cases is just usual marketing! ๐ค๐ธ๐คฏ๐
Yes, and sadly most usual marketing is also a scam. ๐๐๐โจ๐ค
As with any offer in general, if it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is !INDEED. ๐ค๐งโโ๏ธ๐คฏ๐ค

Reviews for sellers that are unpaid and unbiased !INDEED significantly affect each seller's future sales. ๐ค๐งโโ๏ธ Some reviews have enough impact to (temporarily or permanently) stop a business (even a large one). ๐ค๐คฏ

A business focusing on excellent service and products, even without advertising, can indeed do very well, and good unsolicited reviews can certainly make a huge difference. ๐๐๐โจ๐ค

On the other hand, there are some companies spending too much on marketing, such that people are already aware that at least half of the price of each company's products is for (more) marketing !INDEED. ๐ค๐ธ๐คฏ๐ธ๐คฏ๐

It's possible that such companies are having an "expensive marketing experiment" to determine how much marketing affects the purchasing decisions of people !INDEED. ๐ค๐คฏ

Maybe such businesses (are already huge and) consider profit just secondary, and the success of the "experiment" of utmost importance !INDEED. ๐ค๐งโโ๏ธ๐คฏ๐คฏ๐ค

It's not typical !INDEED, as the normal purpose of a business is to make profit. ๐ค๐คฏ Maybe they should be called using a term other than "business". ๐คฏ๐คฏ๐
