They will sell you early access, and keep the game unfinished for 4 years, then yeet it without ever completing it
so we got something going on
I just have big vidya brain
who knows though
Why complete if the paypigs will pay anyway???
THOT
yo, have I been exiled from chat groups? why?
Uksio thinkin like a THOT?
oh.. the horror
@ManAnimal No, I am drawing parrallels between big corporations and thots
They behave the same
hes not wrong
ah, true; having the market cornered
no risk, all reward
both suck black cocks too
lol
and no consequences
externalizing machines
What else are they going to do with the dollars? I'm not concerned with real-estate, but I am concerned about their desire to carve out strategic industries, such as in the case of acquisitions in Britain, acquiring a company that both produces and manages communications infrastructure for the government and military. However, we don't have this issue as much as European countries, given we've expanded CFIUS, part of the reason the tech industry saw a drop about a year ago when Trump gave the go ahead. In any case, we simply seize their assets, just as quickly as we rounded up the Japs for internment camps during the war, and not a single investor would bat an eye.
good comparison
There is not a single incentive to finish and deliver a full game if EA can get money from
>> preorders
>> early access
>> pre-alpha
>> closed beta
>> premium pass before the game is out
>> microtransactions on top of your $120 game purchase
It has long been suspected that China has been simply sitting on a large cache of USD, willing to not make interest on it in order to build economic leverage
In times of war, all options are on the table, especially with the PRC. We don't give a shit about preserving the property rights for their unofficially managed state-cartels.
They can literally eternally promise a game to these paypiggies, and then abscond without finishing it
Why bother finishing if they pay anyway?
There is no incentive
in theory, such a cache of USD would be a hidden inflation bubble, money that wouldn't show up on any indicator
Let them have such a cache.
and at time of their choosing, they could flood the market with those USD AND call in their debts
That's fine.
that would send the western economies into free fall
We'll suck all that right up.
No, you're fooling yourself.
and of course, like jp morgan and other, they will have quietly exited the market just before hand
this had been the danger ever since the 90s when the last of our tariffs were removed
Have the channels been deleted or have i been exiled?
it's also why cash is being quietly phased out
cash shows inflation immediately
ACH deductions between your employer and a bank don't; they are just IOUs that cancel out
