Yes when you can create a form of in-effect regulatory capture you can engage in monopolistic practices to gouge the customers via creating artificial scarcity. Movies continue to climb in costs.
None of that applies to software development which is a global phenomena.
- adenozine 4y agoSorry, are you implying that filmmaking is somehow less universal than software engineering? Many jobs are more difficult than hacking on Angular bs all day, it’s not like most devs implicitly deserve the high pay they enjoy here in the States. Not to mention, most people are far more likely to pay for a movie than for a piece of software, excluding video games.
