Even if you agree with the overall move, surely you recognise that some of the details — charging developers for users installing the same product multiple times, or even pirating it — are flat-out wrong? Not even just wrong from a moral point of view, but from a "this can't possibly work" one too.
- fefe23 3y agoOh don't get me wrong! I don't agree with the overall move. I just think their customers should have seen it coming from a mile away. Capitalists are going to capitalist. Just like I thought the cloud customers should have anticipated that the cheap introductory lure offers would eventually run out and then they'll have to pay real money for the services. I'm a bit daft like that.
- oneeyedpigeon 3y agoSome will simply never have considered it — these risks are well-known in tech communities, but less-so in the general public, even including some game developers. Others will have considered it and weighed it up like any other risk. It's possible that a terrorist will destroy your warehouse, but the chances are so low that it's not worth shutting down your business over. You're still entitled to be angry at the terrorist for doing it, though. This isn't even a normal 'capitalists being capitalists' move, this is a 'capitalists going insane and dousing everyone in petrol' one.
