>> This week a game will cost your 0.2 bitcoins, next week 0.8 bitcoins and then the week after back to 0.4 bitcoins. How will they stop the Yoyo effect or don't they care.
They don't care because it actually costs them nothing to give you a downloaded copy of their software, because they have lost nothing tangible. Even if the bitcoins they collect suddenly all devalued to nothing, they have still lost nothing, because what they gave you was virtual, cost them nothing to mkae your copy, and something you can't resell, so an actually valueless asset in the real world. At least with physical media copies of games it cost them money to make each one and you had something tangible you could resell, at least in theory.
I'm actually surprised they dont just give download versions of games away for free now, since most games these days are just another thinly veiled marketing mechanism to get even more revenue from customers in other ways, such as product placement, advertising, and/or another e-store, where you lucky peole get to exchange tangible assets (money, bitcoin) for virtual, infinitely reproducible at zero cost (so actually valueless) crap such as "exclusive" addons etc.
