I can't remember my napkin math but let's assume 9 cents a GB if it is shooting out of Amazon. So download the full game and most patches would costs CIG around $2.70 each time. So download it around 20 times and they are in the hole versus what you paid for the base package. Since only a few hundred play the game it is not a big deal. Obviously, the more they use the bigger the discount on a per GB cost basis. But Amazon isn't a charity so there is definitely a floor with their per GB pricing. So the the big question is, if there really are 1,000,000 folks chomping at the bit to download this...who is going to pay the tab for it?

Granted, a CDN would alleviate most of the costs but you know...it's CIG. The more they pull in the deeper the debt. In my earlier years EVA was a hard concept to wrap my head around. CIG's EVA is obviously negative and hence the ELE in a couple weeks.

This discussion questioning if the police should "investigate" account hijacking of people's internet space ships as a theft. I feel like SC should at least get credit for creating and infecting people with the handwavium element.

So download the full game and most patches would costs CIG around $2.70 each time. So download it around 20 times and they are in the hole versus what you paid for the base package. hmm CIG screwing math. 1000mbps down gets about .125 GB a second. The patch size is like 30 so that's about 4 minutes to download the package (assuming the drive is writing that fast). Also, you never get a full 1000 every second so let's say it takes 6 minutes to download. That's 10 times an hour I could download the whole game.About 240 times a day at 7.2 TB. At the 9 cents estimate a gig a day that's $648 a day. Even if they are getting a discount that could easily be $500 a day. In a month it would cost them a competitionist package. Surely they are monitoring this kind of stuff with that crack team of network engineers and would catch it well before then.

This was my point though, someone hacks in to your account and takes your internet space ship pictures it isn't theft. According to the white knights, all this money going to CIG is a donation. A donation is not a purchased product. With no purchased product, i.e. ownership, how can you have a theft? Now if they want to change the narrative and say you are buying the digital items then maybe you have a case for theft.

The RSI has origins from the Kickstarter Development in which a bunch of hopefuls and has-beens tried to ride the nostalgia train to riches. All studios except for the RSI swore reasonable development time upon their backers. There is no financial accountability in the RSI, and all self-controlled transportation has been made illegal without undergoing painful mocap procedures, in which arteries are severed without pain resistant, operated entirely by machines. The way they work claim to be the most hygenic and healthy way possible, but these machines often rub against pain points, causing great deals of pain to patients. The heart is then extracted from the body and placed into a glass grinding machine. Various energy centers are also dissected and replaced with donuts and candy. After the painful, 52 hour surgical procedure, patients will then have to use a fused guidance tool, which pumps painful resistors into the body every 2 hours. The development they have caused is so bad, the game models would freeze in a tense T-position. They would then clip through the floor afterwards. lol, this is underappreciated

On the other hand, it does mean that CIG really is more open about what's going on during development than other studios: we know all of these problems are happening there right now, long before they're even close to having an actual game to show for it, while we had to wait until the autopsy to find out how ME: Andromeda turned out so bad.
