IAmSinistar: Blanket Fair Pricing == Good
Piecemeal Pricing (some fair, some arbitrary) == Bad
It is possible I am misinterpreting something, so what do you mean by "Blanket Fair Pricing"? A flat price for everyone, or the X hours at minimum wage part that I say is better?
And again, I have said before that I find regional pricing the correct way, but current implementations of it have failed.
Which is why whenever I see someone boycotting regionally priced games because they are unfair, I roll my eyes.
Urnoev: Sigh... that isn't the issue here. Regional pricing is fair in its purest form, which would be that the prices are adjusted for every individual individually. Which is impossible, of course.
No. Individually for every individual is a very bad method. You do want to reward specific people more than others, even if we currently don't do that. Is the labor of a farmer worth more than the labor of a teacher, or is it worth less? What about a scientist, an engineer, or a fireman? Should they all need to work X hours for the same product, or should some jobs pay more because they require more of the worker, or they offer more to the community?
Not to mention that good work should be rewarded, because if good work isn't rewarded, you end up without anyone doing good work, and you run into other problems.
Urnoev: And that is the injustice.
Yes. The injustice is the current implementation of regional pricing, not regional pricing per se. What people are complaining about though is that because
Unity is bad, we should abandon Linux.
