I mean, I get it. We all get it. Charity, good vibes and unity.<\/p>\n
But that\u2019s too much. ACLU just got six times the money it receives a year, in one month. It\u2019s got so much sudden money, they felt like they should join Y Combinator to help manage the enormous wealth \u2013$24M received in one weekend- they got. That\u2019s awesome, good for them. Good for us.<\/p>\n
So why game developers feel the need to double down by completely eroding games value a few weeks later? $30 for 30 games \u2013$600 worth at full price- is absurd. We already have such a hard time to make people understand that $19.99 is not expensive for a few hours of enjoyable entertainment that sending them the message that they can get that game for virtually nothing sometime in the future, is not something we should do or encourage. At all.<\/p>\n
We already have such a hard time to get enough money to make great games, we cannot afford those ridiculous bargains. Developers who already made more than enough can afford it but it\u2019s such a selfish way of looking at our craft, I don\u2019t really get it.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s like no one is interested in sustaining our world, setting up an economy? Other entertainment businesses don\u2019t do that. There are no $1 movie tickets, $2 music albums. Bandcamp run a charity thing recently too but people paid the music full price, Bandcamp just redistributed all the money to charities. There are already tons of cheap or really not expensive entertainment.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s no need to bargain our absurdly-hard-to-make craft like that. I think it needs to stop.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
