I like claiming that Trump has plans to . Say, 'I heard Trump has plans to send warships to ensure the massacres continue'.

rest assured, the top minds of reddit have already brought out the callipers and denounced this CCP stooge as a person of chinese ethno-persuasion.

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.

Biden is a Russian asset!!

It's not that capitalism can't do state driven growth. It's that the capitalist world is now libertarian and only the military is worthy of 'investment'. Everything else has to go through seven layers of asset management first.

And it's not like the other economies don't have that 'war boost' going on. They are just inflating themselves toward financialized GDP growth instead of actually making bombs.

P.S. zaluzhny, don't start march on kiev and then fly private planes

but that would be very funny

Nevermind that, you can't just pretend that a strike happened in your territory so the US saves an indeterminate amount of face. That's just not a thing even a client state can do and it's really funny that anyone in the admn may have thought otherwise.
