what is it then?


I mean the price comparison between general computer software and games is a bad one.

Yeah it seems a little disingenuous when the ballooning cost of game development is a well known thing. I don't think Word development is in the same ballpark at all


what is disingenuous is ignoring the ballooning cost of making a smart phone when previously un-smart phones costed much much more...
because it is hardware

and then ignoring software trends that are similar enough to this hardware, because it is a principle of tech as well

so games according to you both are neither hardware, nor software
are they even technology?

that is the loops you have to jump through to argue that the costs should go up and not down because the facts are against you

btw, "ballooning costs" are a lie
they put tons of money into it hoping to extract even more money out
they aren't making the development costs soar that high because they want to make good games
they are doing it because they think they can get one over on you with super impressive graphics

meanwhile small dev company with extremely low costs makes bank
meanwhile even smaller dev who is literally 1 guy also makes bank

hmmmm.....who is being, disingenuous...
