Comment on Sony is testing dynamic pricing: one game - different prices on the PlayStation Store

  It’s almost as though Valve provides a valuable service and respects their customers. Rare traits in the corporate world. Answering to a board of directors is a hell of a lot easier than answering to shareholders.

  Enshitification hasn’t struck there…yet.

    They do but that’s regional pricing, meaning that basically if the median income of a country is lower, game prices are lower as well. According to the article, that you apparently did not read, Sony is showing different prices (up to 18% lower in some cases) to different users. I take that to mean that the geographical position of the users could be the same.

  Integrity.

  Valve does the least amount of scammy/scumbag bullshit, and they’re rewarded accordingly.

  Companies like EA only want customers that have no self-respect, so that’s what they get.
