Okay, he didn't use those exact words, but he said "How easy it is to make people believe a lie, and how hard it is to undo that work again!".

It's a digital good, just a bunch of 1s and 0s in a particular order. The manufacturing cost of making a copy is near 0. There are license fees, but those are almost always pencentage based. Valve takes 30%, the publisher takes a percentage, and so on.

Then it's a balance of volume vs price. If you can sell 10,000 copies at $10, vs 1,000 at $15, ($100,000 vs. $15,000), it is more profitable to sell the game at $10.

And human psychology is manipulable. Seeing the original price at $15 will influence them to value the game around $15, and so $10 would be a good deal. If they want it, they should buy it on sale. Where as seeing the original price at $10 would influence them to value the game at $10, which could mean it's not as good as a $15 game they can get for $10 on sale.

Kid: "Everyone in class has a phone! I hate you! 😭"

Parent: "🤔It can't be my fault my kids hate me. The other parents are the problem. 😤"

Okay but 🍒 shouldn't output 🍉. This is inconsistent and confusing. We have standards.

Unless you live in a big city, you practically need a car in the US.

Mazda's Laputa translates to "the bitch" in Spanish.

There's also Ford's Probe...

But yeah ID.EVERY1 is a mediocre name.

Probably not a good title to seek upvotes. If it does get upvotes, more programmers get share in your pain 😅
