Your phone number is tied to your identity, there are no reasons to ask it to begin with.

Signal is centralized and require a phone number to register, it’s not private at all.

Valve ceo is thinking about the next project from his mega yachts

Apple have the rights to sell you a stand for 999$ but you are getting fooled hard

Yes, there are videogames sales no wonder there are sales for every other product. Originally sales are made because grocery expire, you can have sales for any reason you want such as tricking people into buy more of your products but then that’s what you are doing: tricking people.

That’s the basic of how making a profit works.

Not everything is made for infinite profits

Nobody would be willing to pay 50$ for a game released in 1999 because they know the costs to make the game are already covered

yes you can also buy a billionare fleet of mega yachts

We are talking in a platform that has not such greedy goals

That’s not true, especially for software that has infinite supply

We cannot get it because we are not rich but rich people aren’t frugal they don’t wait a videogame to drop 5$ in price to buy it

Sounds like videogames sales are made to make money and the original price has not much to do with cover costs bur rather making as much profits as people are willing to pay

Probably they didn’t change at all but their influence scaled up. Lying to a person or to a million people doesn’t carry the same weight

Can you elaborate where your confusion lies?

Real goods have a limited lifespan, they usually go on sales when they are about to reach the end of their life or when you physically have to get rid of them. Software doesn’t expire.

A price is usually set to cover the initial costs and to make a reasonable profit not to squeeze how much money you can from people.

Grocery deteriorates, when it’s about to expire it goes on sales and if nobody buys they throw it away. Software doesn’t rotten.

So what you are saying is that it is only a marketing move to appeal to poorer people?

Can someone explain videogames sales to me? How can a game be 12$ and 8.99$ the day after?
