see it differently.

The idea:

30€ for game + 10 reusable upload slots (but seperatef for all kinds of nitty bitty details).

This covers most users needs.

But the game will mostly be a niche product reducing profitability. So selling more reusable upload slots to the ones which are fine with afforting it seems a good idea especially given that probably anyone can live with 10 slots.

Also giving unlimited upload space would be a liability for the company.

Be aware that I made that judgment based on this being a game.

If you look at it as a programming development environment it indeed seems very dogy.

But given the context you should see it as a game which also teaches you programming not as a programming environment.

Yeah and they're already teaching kids to accept the need to pay some third party company permission to make their code available on a locked down heavily controlled piece of hardware, just like in real life.


Well can't disagree with that.

I honestly wouldn't recommend this for learning/teaching/introducing programming.

Not just because if the looked down aspect.
