With a game like there has probably been existence market research to account for how much buzz the game will get. They may even be counting on the buzz to sell more copies at full price.

That is exactly how people making these decisions think. Its all numbers to them, there are no people involved in their thinking.

right, so that would put you into the 50% or the lower 25%, but there are people that will buy higher price, and as long as there is 1% willing to buy before the first sale it is worth it for them.

If you assume 25% of player will buy at 80, 50% will buy at $50, and 25% will buy at $20. Per 100 buyers they stand to make $5,000. However if they start at $50 with 75% of buys buying at that price, they will make $4,250. This is about maximizing profit by selling to fans with deep pockets first then discounting latter to captured the rest of the player base.

If I have to come to you desk to ask for something I have likely lost respect for you and I don’t care that you think I am a whiny bitch. Different business units have different priorities, but you should still set the expectation of when you will be able to get to it.

CYA is very important but some time you just need to get shit done and this is where we are at. My manager and director are both working it too.

when they come for the liberals, they will say they are Antifa. They have already said Antifa is a terrorist organization. Anyone that speaks out against them publicly will magically become a car carrying member who happens to have their membership car on them when arrested.

When I was on help desk I often talked about meeting the client where they were at in their technical skill level. Sometimes their technical skill level was “Can you click the icon in the bottom left that looks like a window with four pains, and then click the settings icon it looks like a gear”. If mounting a file share was involved I just remoted in, none of the people that called could handle those instructions.
