I really gotta thank the Amish, my friend 100% legit believed that living without modern technology is just not possible anymore and that everyone would die at 30-40 without medicine, but they shut him up quickly when I brought it up.

It's crazy that if they didn't exist even more people would believe that as an absolute fact.

There's no ethical consumption or commerce during capitalism so might as well charge what the game is worth.

TOW1 only sold as well as it did because people were so mad over FO76. It didn't leave a single impact on anyone, it was by and large forgotten until the announcement of the sequel and oh yeah, the economy is in the shitter. People *might* buy Mario Kart at 80 bucks, but not nearly enough people are dedicated to the TOW IP to have it be a success at 80. Hell, Doom TDA seems to have been a flop and Doom is much more recognizable and beloved than TOW ever was.

If it somehow makes a profit (and I mean a real one, none of that "30 gazillion players (on gamepass who played for 5 minutes and quit) I will eat my own cum.

>Build a capital city in a completely illogical place because it's 'central', provide some incentives for various people from different settlements to move there, in quotas enforced implicitly of course.
>Puts in regulation on trade to 'protect' settlements from 'improper' medicine and puts a patent law system in place to 'promote' innovation. This results in a few GG-backed orgs having a monopoly on medicine, goods, and technology, all enforceable with violence.
>Several conflicts break out due to irreconcilable religious and cultural differences in the capital city, which the protagonist is sent to sort out.
>Protagonist eventually learns the truth about the system and has several options to deal with it: back one of the factions in a conquest war, blow up the GG ship, found an empire, or try and return the old, peaceful order.

Because it's a problem of scale but you're obviously some libertarian. Regulations aren't a reason small businesses fail, but regulations are bad because they're often older and made to restrain industries but then that comes back to bite people in the ass whenever some group doesn't want some project happening and they kill it with a pile of paperwork and regulations that are prohibitively expensive even for the government. IP laws are good in some cases. For instance, pharmaceuticals spend a lot of money on R&D for their products and we want them to be able to recoup their losses so they can continue to do research. Here's a more interesting question: why do Americans pay less for generics while the newest things aren't even marketed in European markets? Is there a way to cooperate and diffuse the American cost while making these drugs available in European markets? Taxes aren't bad or good they just are, and taxes are very often beneficial multipliers on what your productivity. For instance, there's a famous study that looks at the effect of treating school children with worms in developing countries that found the long term effects to be far greater than simply giving schools new equipment or whatever. Taxes, which feed healthcare, keep people healthy, which is extremely important. Another example: people like to complain about property prices. Places like LA have rows and rows of singly family suburban homes that desperately need to be redeveloped but instead old people that entered the local market before it exploded and are now incentivized to endlessly speculate on the rapidly increasing price of their property, thereby wasting everyone's time. This is where ideas like land value taxes come in, to maybe disincentivize this behavior. Lobbying, in America at least, is protected under the first ammendment right to organize, but ubfortunately my message is too long so I'm stopping here.

There's not really an option for someone to not participate in capitalism though. You need money to survive unless you want to rot on the streets. You can't build yourself a new life in the wilderness and live off the land unless you are already exorbitantly wealthy enough to own a woodland area. All land is owned by either the government or private individuals, all of whom will jail you or worse for trespassing - so what option really is there?

Someone can despise capitalism and still participate in it out of necessity because the system itself has made it a death sentence to not do that.

I know about this and I think it might be the case HOWEVER, it could also be that R&D takes the fuck off because you don't have to worry about overlapping with an existing patent and better method of developing drugs might emerge because they have to be more efficient to get to market faster.
>why do Americans pay less for generics while the newest things aren't even marketed in European markets? Is there a way to cooperate and diffuse the American cost while making these drugs available in European markets?
Here's a question, why do so many European countries tax the hell out of businesses? Like Stripe, a unicorn startup, by Irish brothers is based in AMERICA, you wonder why that is?
>Taxes aren't bad or good they just are, and taxes are very often beneficial multipliers on what your productivity.
HELL NO.
You give money to the government there's a 1/5 chance it'll go to something useful and 1/3 chance that it'll be as efficient as private industry. I've worked in and around Gov for years and have seen this in every sector.

Buying land only has validity if it is recognised by others, and that typically requires forcing them to recognise it. This boils down to a simple truth that power is everything.

Fucking GACHA gamers had enough self respect to fight for their rights and enforce regulations on their industry. The AAA market refuses to vote with their wallet and insists that it's a pointless battle, as though that would somehow justify the support of bad corporations even if it were true. There are plenty of battles you can't win where you must compromise to continue living properly in this world, video games are not one of them.

>>712490469
Sure. But that completely misses the point that this bottom of the barrel scene has the sense to boycott corporate practices and demand better products. There is no fucking excuse for AAA gamers to say "well you can't win so why try"

This is pointedly untrue. Companies come and go. There are periods that are better and periods that are worse and the idea that you can only lose is a means by which people let themselves get cowed for cash.

>red states "hate socialism" but are the biggest welfare states in the union
That's a lie.
>If you look at the amount of money the federal government gives to states on a per capita basis instead, blue states get more; $2,124 per resident. Red states receive just $1,879 on average. even if red states receive more in federal welfare, it’s not going to Republicans. Those on public assistance, as well as long-term disability and unemployment, are overwhelmingly Democrats.

Is it just jeets crying about being poor

I really wish I never bought the first game. There was so much retardation going around saying that the game was the return of Fallout New Vegas and all this shit, that I figured it couldn't be too bad. Go figure the gameplay is incredibly dull and it has some of the worst writing I've ever seen in an RPG.
At this point it's pretty clear that people just were mad about Fallout 76 and decided to shill Obsidian because "Fallout NV devs worked on it"

(Whats funny is despite never having played it, I'd be willing to bet money that Fallout 76 is easily better than this crap now too... which isn't saying much but still...)

>>712493569
I don't necessarily dislike money.
What the issue has become is institutionalization.
Money has enabled people to stop providing for themselves and their community, relying on the goodwill of the government and corporations to maintain their communities and even culture but that's another conversation.

The issue is interaction with money should be much less obligatory, there are basically ponzi schemes ran between government institutions and corporations to make basic things much more expensive than they should be.
We should be growing our own food, we should be able to maintain our own vehicles, property rights should come with domain over resources.
The short of the long is grocery stores are great, but we enable this system by letting ourselves be dependent on them.

Pure communism isn't all that great for producing vidya though. Capitalistic consumerism and excess allows for unnecessary extravagances like video games to be more easily produced. This is why China didn't produce any decent video games until after they started giving up on the pretense of communism. Modern China is communist in name only.

Video games aren't just excess, they're also insanely wasteful. So in order to produce them in decent quality and quantity, you need a society that's actually willing to freely embrace and produce wasteful and unnecessary products.

Of course they did, if by "monetary incentive" you mean personal gain. You just decreed, in typical commietard fashion, that people can only be rewarded for doing labor. Thus there's no reward for doing less labor, i.e., increasing labor productivity.

That's not what I said. I said you can't make money by sitting on your ass and taking a cut because you "own the company." The workers get all the profits and if they increase efficiency, they get the benefits of the increased profits.

At collective expense. The materials belong to the people, and since it's nice to have a place to sleep at, people think that building houses is the right thing to do, and somebody will do that. It could be you, but you're a lazy unproductive piece of shit and you want to just hoard the money.

>>712498657
>They contributed the capital that made the company possible in the first place, and gave the workers the tools and facilities to use.
So what entitles them to a cut of the profits in perpetuity, beyond getting paid back initial value of what they provided? Are the workers that actually built the tools and facilities entitled to their salaries for the rest of their lives for making the company possible in the first place?

That's where you're wrong. There's lots of personal gain to be had in building houses and factories.

For example, I could vote for more housing construction in an effort to decrease the cost of rent for myself.

The end product and the rewards for their labor. It's a common good and a common goal. You can live there or not, you can work there or not. You're supposed to work because it's good, and if you don't work you don't get the rewards.
what will be the incentive for these to be built at the optimal level of production in each particular local circumstance
The optimal level of production by itself. You want the house to be nice, right? You don't want people to die because you didn't mix the cement correctly, right?

From the same places as usual. Nothing and nobody will just vanish, production and education of the important things won't either.
>But you said people can only make money by doing labor, not by finding ways to do less labor.
Making life easier is a worthy contribution and it should be rewarded. You've just invented something because you think it's gonna make the workers, well, work better. You can keep doing that or whine that it's not money and reveal your true colors.

Collective gain over personal gain. You may not be getting $10 per hammer but you've just made 200 solid hammers that will be used to create a house for 200 people.

>>712499881

>>712500539

Yes. Markets exist in systems other than capitalism
>They already have a house. Why would they build *other* people houses?
because the other people are paying them for the house

Which is why I'm proposing workers getting the full fruits of their labor instead of capitalists getting a majority share for the sake of owning something
>So people who set aside the money to finance the resources, labor, and capital needed to create new factories will be rewarded in the form of profit, correct?

>>712498829
You’re immediately out of ways to defend your point because it’s a retarded point to make

I make 150k a year at my dream job. Capitalism has treated me great and I don’t even think it needs to go away entirely I just think it needs way more checks and balances. But I’m not a fucking numbskull like you so I understand it’s not hypocritical to critique capitalism while participating in it because you literally have no other choice but to starve.

>>712500539
>So… there'll be a market for housing?
Not market per se. More like a quota that needs to be fulfilled. The housing will be a right that needs to be respected. You *deserve* a house.
>Why would they build *other* people houses?
It's in the common interest to make houses. You have a house, you like your house, you know how nice it is to have a house and people without houses (i.e the homeless) are an issue that we want to solve preferably without mass murder, you understand it and perhaps you'll contribute to making new houses.
>Don't have the capital.
They're not supposed to have it. The term "capital" is meant to be phased out. It's just materials, goods and goals. Like turning bricks into a house and getting a nice TV for it.
>will be rewarded in the form of profit
reward, yes. profit, not really. You have to understand the difference between personal and private property first and I don't think you do.

It is true that the system would rely on people not being greedy fucks and "a bit" more altruistic in general, but just like the modern culture encourages egoism, you can do the opposite.
>So how will Joe incentivize Bob to do something useful for Joe?
Do X for me and I'll do Y for you. Also applies to the group.
>So who controls the resources?
The people.
>individually
Not a thing anymore. Your inner drive is either having nice things because of the rewards for labor or making everybody's lives, yours included, generally better.
>How do you solve the free-rider problem?
No work no food. You work more you get more food. If you can't work you still deserve some food, but if you can you should.
Read about spanish anarchists or the Guarani people, that's the goal.
>You decreed that people can only make money by doing labor. Not by finding ways to make it more efficient.
Labor isn't just digging holes. If you've made the workers' life better it's valuable labor too. Art won't disappear either.

If you work at a factory that makes 1000 products a day, and all the profits go directly to the workers, and you find a way to create 2000 products a day and therefore double the profits, you will make more money. Even in the case of someone whose full time job is to analyze a business and propose processes that increase efficiency, that counts as a form of labor. You get paid for DOING not for OWNING.

Funnily enough, under the current system where a worker is paid a set rate, they actually won't get rewarded for increasing efficiency. So if you do, there's more incentive to keep it a secret, fuck around pretending to work half the day, and the company has the same output in the end.

>>712499797
>You're not supposed to start a company, especially not a profit-oriented private company.
Why not? Where will you get the resources to build factories and supply chains and distribution networks? Where will you get the resources to maintain them? Who will be rewarded for maintaining them, and how? Who will be rewarded for finding better ways to create and maintain those entities, and how? And how will you allocate resources to where they're most needed? Where do you get that information from if not from price signals?
Profit motive is what incentivizes people to allocate resources efficiently. Without it, you're just flailing around blindly in the dark. That's why the USSR constantly suffered from overproduction and underproduction of different goods simultaneously.
>From the same places as usual.
From capitalists? You just said capitalists are outlawed.
>Making life easier is a worthy contribution and it should be rewarded.
How?
>You can keep doing that or whine that it's not money and reveal your true colors.
The fact that you're not out there this very moment constantly building houses and factories for other people for free reveals your true colors.

Andy wants a house. He pays currency to Bob, Chuck and Dave who collectively own a construction company to build him a house.
>Why don't they do that already?
Many small businesses are owned by a small group of people that also do all the work. But once they reach a certain size, there is more incentive to underpay other people to do more work while keeping the profits for yourself.
>What "parasitic middle men" are you talking about, exactly?
People that make money purely by owning something(stock, a company, rental property)
>If they're not needed, why hasn't the market bypassed them already? Both producers and consumers currently have an incentive to do so.
Because the only reason not to underpay a bunch of workers and keep all the profits for yourself is if you're principally against it. People try starting their own independent businesses all the time but it's an uphill battle in the modern world with a supersaturated global market where the big players can easily choke you out. You can see a microcosm of this choking out happening in small towns where Wal Mart takes over and drains all the money from the locals.

Only one of the sides is not trying to discuss but just trap the enemy through logic. Make them say things they want to hear, even when they know they don't mean it. There's probably a better name for it but I'm not that interested in the meta aspect of debates. The whole thing is fundamentally pointless because nobody is going to change their minds and the opinions are, to say the least, rather radical. They're not on equal footing either because one of the sides is thoroughly convinced that the other side should respect two different contradicting ideologies at the same time. And coincidentally only one of the sides is happy about the current situation.

Wrong. They have incentives that are by and large in line with the rest of the population. Unlike a State. That's why capitalism works. You earn more by making things people want, in greater quantity, at a lower price.
That's why capitalism has lifted billions of people out of poverty, while socialism has only created poverty and misery.

>Compared to those that were less free, countries with higher economic freedom ratings during 1980–2005 had lower rates of both extreme and moderate poverty in 2005. More importantly, countries with higher levels of economic freedom in 1980 and larger increases in economic freedom during the 1980s and 1990s achieved larger poverty rate reductions than economies that were less free. These relationships were true even after adjustment for geographic and locational factors and foreign assistance as a share of income. The positive relations between the level and change in economic freedom and reductions in poverty were both statistically significant and robust across alternative specifications.

The difference is that one side wants to enslave you, and take away all your money and property to do with as they see fit.
The fact that you don't acknowledge this is very telling.

>>712507362

>>712507681
Everyone has an incentive to get more work from other people for less money. That's a universal of existence.
But capitalism works better than socialism. Because employers also need to compete for employees.

>Everyone has an incentive to get more work from other people for less money. That's a universal of existence.
There's an incentive to kill people and take all their stuff, too. That's why we made it illegal.

>We study the relationship between economic freedom and poverty rates in 151 countries over a twenty-year period. Using the World Bank's poverty headcounts of those living on less than $1.90 per day, $3.20 per day, and $5.50 per day, we find evidence that economic freedom, measured by the Heritage Foundation's Index of Economic Freedom, is associated with lower poverty rates. We also test the effect of various components of the Index of Economic Freedom. We find that a government's integrity and a country's trade freedom are associated with lower poverty rates. We check the robustness of our results using alternative freedom indices.

WWI and WWII delayed going to the moon by 30 years. It was initially the British Empire that was going to go up there.

You failed to discredit my mention of trains and cars.
You cannot discredit the steam engine, refrigeration, electricity, vaccination and numerous other advances that had nothing to do with war, conflict or as you originally put it, violent upheaval, i.e. rebellion.
And need I remind you that the only successful rebellions in history were backed by people with power, not peasants with pitchforks?

Well, if the government is shit then normalfags like me are probably gonna have to depend on black markets to get what we need. So it's something I need to know before that shit goes down.

>"owned by the community as a whole"
Hmmm…

>>712508815
>Do black market economies do well under socialism?
The black market economy IS the Soviet Union. It was how it thrived under all eras. Not to mention that organized crime under communism is state controlled. And most of that is still alive today.

>>712508973
You don't and that's why you think socialism is when government does stuff.

>>712508926
You're just mentally ill and can't follow a conversation, like a lot of leftists.

>>712509024

Sometimes they do spark creativity. Some asshole charges exorbitant fees for people to use his patent. Some creative fuck designs a workaround that works/performs close enough and charges lower fees.

It's implying that the state itself is criminal.

You've just wasted over 8 hours on arguing with strangers on the internet. Strangers who despise you btw.

>>712509025

>>712509080
Not at all. That's called revolutionary truth. There can't be a contradiction to any of it if you really understand communism.

>>712509090
Which company is forcing me to work for them?
>a fraction of the value you provide the company
How did you compute this alleged "value", oh wise neckbeard basement-dweller of the 4chins? And on what axioms?

>>712509161
The state decides what crime is and what it isn't, though. The state controls law enforcement. What the state does is the law by extension, thus it can't be considered a crime, not within the state at least.

>>712509068
I've been consistently defending the point that capital owners have incentives that are harmful to the rest of society and it would be good to change that incentive structure, perhaps it's you who isn't following.

>>712509345
No you haven't. You claiming something doesn't make it true. Your base assertion is not an argument.
Meanwhile, I've provided empirical data that debunks your claim.

bunkerxisters, we failed to proselytize our batshit ideology AGAIN
return to the discord to regroup and decide on next steps

>>712508853
The problem with this shit is social policies within a capitialist core aren't fucking socialism. Words have distinct meaning. When you say Socialism it implies the entire core structure for the entirecountry's function. Which is why it's so easy to just waive off and dismiss when some lefty starts advocating for it. Idiots want something and don't know how to properly label it.
Let's not pretend people don't know what they mean though, both sides are full of the stupidest dipshits imaginable.

>>712509235

picrel
>How did you compute this alleged "value", oh wise neckbeard basement-dweller of the 4chins? And on what axioms?
if they make a profit, they definitionally had fewer expenses(which includes payroll) than revenues(value created by the workers output). Though it is true that an individual worker could produce less than what they get paid, which is why slackmaxxing at work is the most rational choice for an employee.

>>712509575
>muh both sides
Nigger, why don't you move to a commie shithole to see the consequences of their ideology with your own eyes?

>>712509274
State can decide whatever it wants, but if it can't control it then those decisions do not matter. But it's being implied here that the state does control everything, because apparently anon thinks the state is a god and can do godlike things. Using that logic the state is indeed criminal.

>>712469089 (OP)
How much should an anti-capitalist game cost according to anti-capitalists?

>I've provided empirical data that debunks your claim.
You provided data that "more free markets" lead to less poverty, which I've largely ignored because I'm not arguing against free markets. I'm arguing about adjusting the incentive structure within a free market.

>>712509750
>Meanwhile, the state literally steals from my paycheck and I have no choice in the matter.
I thought no one was forcing you to work?

>>712509624

But you already know that.

No matter what they're gonna say, pro-capitalists will claim that they're hypocrites. It's a lose-lose situation and that's why this whole discussion was fucking pointless. Entirely dishonest from the start.

>>712509723
$0, because one should labor for the collective for free, per the socialist ITT

So don't work. You're not being forced to

This isn't telling you what you think it is

>>712510226

You're mentally retarded and/or mentally-ill. Probably both, since you're a leftist.

The idea is that the price hike is very recent, and unnecessary. They're only increasing the price, because they saw others increasing their prices. So an anti-capitalist should price itself to its actual value, instead of chasing the most recent inflations. So 60-70 bucks.

fucking duh, dipshit
