The argument can also be flipped by saying that companies won’t make a better game on launch because customers are happy paying for a subpar experience even after knowing the game is not optimised. It doesn’t matter to them when a few customers leave as long as they are making a profit and the stock prices remain up. And pre-booking sales already help them with that.

3·12 days agoAgree with “just cost of doing business” argument for Google. But market cap and fine amount ratio are totally unrelated. A company’s stock price can be highly inflated in trillions in market cap and yet can have negligible incoming cash like maybe a few million dollars. So a fine of billion would definitely hurt them a lot.

4·14 days agoWinzip, i think, is owned by Corel I think. Almost as evil as Adobe. In India over here a lot of small businesses use it and it is unaffordable for them to get such creative suites. Corel constantly sends notices to the ones using cracked copies and force them to buy it for 3 years to avoid legal damages.
