  Honest question here. Could it be possibly that as they improved their DRM with more triggers and methods that it has started to impact performance since 2016?

  As Empress was cracking Denuvo, I wouldnt be surprised if they started to quickly add extra defencive measures compromising what could have been optimised in the past.

  I guess it depends on how you define inflation. To me and what I’ve been reading, inflation is the ratio between goods and services and the money supply. Inflation isn’t rising prices. Price raising is a symptom of inflation. But I know you know that. I just don’t think it’s beneficial to use inflation interchangeably with supply and demand and price raises, it just creates confusion. I very much favor the macroeconomics view of inflation because through that lens a lot things start making sense.

  Since this is your field, obviously you’d know that if you have more goods, you get deflation. And funnily enough when you look up the definition of deflation it’s very strongly tied to that ratio between goods and services and the money supply.

  I just feel that over time people have changed the definition of inflation. It’s no surprise that the term Greedflation has popped up because the topic surrounding it has been convoluted, confusing a lot of people.

  Inflation is the devaluation of the currency. The definition has been muddied for a time now but ultimately inflation refers to the expansion of the money supply.

  As people borrow more and governments print more, prices would increase. Not because those items have more value but because the money has lost its value needing more of it to pay for the same stuff.

  If tomorrow everyone’s wages would double. Prices would double as demand would increase as the market balances itself out.

  Greedflation is a term that shifts that narrative. You could argue that yes there are bad actors for sure. But the term greedflation is redefining inflation, making you focus more on corporations instead of the main contributor, an expanding money supply.

  NFTs could have a useful case of keeping online records of ownership. Being cars, homes and even cattle. Which coulld also make it easier and cheaper to sell or buy these things.

  Ignoring privacy concerns of course.
