Coffee with Butterscotch: A Gamedev Comedy Podcast

[Ep357] Metagame Playing Field

This week, we talk about the nightmare of incentives, design arms race, and price. Despite what economists tell you, you can’t assume a can opener. Or a spherical cow for that matter. And certainly not a can opener that can open a spherical cow. Pricing signals much more than just the price to the consumer, and supply/demand curves are more shapes than you think. Questions answered (abbreviated): - Suavignon: How do you set the price of a game?
