This is a glimpse at our future under Techno-Feudalism, by the way. Five companies own all the entertainment and charge you extortionate rates to rent it. Please enjoy these last few years of Steam allowing indie games to be published with $20.00 or lower prices - once Gabe Newell goes away, inide devs are going to get "Spotified" out of existence by whatever venture capitalist buys up Steam.
You would need about $10 billion to do that. That's four entire years worth of Doctors Without Borders funding. IMO, not a good use of limited resources...
Agree.
But then again, Capitalism itself is not a good use of limited resources. Yet here we are.
In a world where people can collectively raise and spend $500 million for a group of software developers to build and release a game like Star Citizen, perhaps game developers and people who enjoy playing computer games could have a chance at carving out something sustainable for themselves.
But yeah, I get it's a pretty dumb idea. :(
