Okay really alt tabbing back to MHW, I feel like I'm trying to argue 2A with demonrats atm, the level of speaking without knowing what the fuck they're talking about is hilariously high.

doubtful

they aren't going to that model because they are losing money

There is no Constitutional right to free shit.

pretentious, more like

they are going to that model because of the inherent risk of developing an elaborate game like No Man's Sky and having it not sell

"oh, i was in the military, i know everything about why we're in iraq and its either terrible or wonderful, dont think for yourself"

literally what you sound like

It's noble if you obtain a "demo version" and then *actually pay for it* but that's a matter of faith in humanity innit?

much easier to feel out the market with a hastily made alpha version then realse incremental and paid upgrades

so lessons learned here (i guess):
devs should make demos great again
whoever invents a better DRM will get boatloads of money

and what that model, DRM is just stupid

Gamers are right to distrust dev greed or bad DRMs, and devs are right to distrust a market economy premised on the honor system

either the honor system, or the uninformed buyer system

nah, blockchain based will probably next

Maybe.

I really don't understand blockchain itself well enough to comment.

great potential for paid transactions of game assets using independant markets

as well as intergrated DRM and payment

also potential for data-economy applications

such as sharing game experience data collected from game-play

Nah, data-economy will allow the first people to buy games to collect data during game play and pool the data. That data can then be purchased by noobs and those that collected the data receive a micropayment

I suppose it could happen🤔

Degeneracy is like a fine wine. It is best when filtered through an ass crack.

It is 2019

Everyone eats ass

I guess degeneracy at that point would be trad relationship.
