Taking the Fashion industry, as an Example :
There are Fashion Designers. Creators.
In the World of Games..
they are the Game Designers or Programmers. Creators.

Then the Corporations in charge of directly Marketing their distinct Products.
In Games..
the Apple/Play Store..the Developers.

Also will be..the Small Shops putting various stuffs on display, physical and online ventures.
In Games..the resellers.
Steam/GoG/Amazon etc could be considered as one such. And the old relics of physical Game Shops.
(ooh I do missed the Joy of visiting those. Seeing unpredictable NEW releases, touching/reading the boxes and looking forward to open them up with amazing goodies hidden inside)

Next in line, will be the Counterfeiters/"re-packagers".
Putting "fake" Armani, LV, YSL, Levi's, JPG etc on their finished products.
In Games..the Crackers/Modders.
The Group Releasers of Modded games.
The Robin Hood of da neighbourhood!
<3
On variations of Mods :
There are Unique Special ones.
Done with much efforts needing specialized skills and tools.
Some developers should be ashamed out of the features changing the games into something else.
Better, more FUN, saving time and head/heart-aches, extra contents etc
There has been a market for Game Shark/Genie alike since ages ago.

There are also games just patched, but offering similar results of enjoyment.
Also Paid/Premium-games offered for pennies if not for nothing.

Are YOU still NOT grateful and demanding..MORE ???
HOW ?!?
:rolleyes:
On Regulations and Enforcements :
Chopped-up shops selling fake-brandeds stuffs are raided ALL the time..on most countries.
While in some..the masses actually depended on those.

In Indonesia for an example..discarded clothes and second-hand cars/phones from neighbouring countries are fast-movers on the lower economy of the social-strata.
Consider it..an alternative to "recycling" of your unwanted leftovers.
At least they are useful still..to others, not to mention the supporting of countless under-priviledged families.

What would the world be..without the ants, cocroaches, mosquitoes etc
Balance of Nature..of Social..of Economy.
Reality of Life.

Sbennytopia is kinda like..
The Robin Hood shop of Mods, no?
You can be assured, at least..that it is run by qualified and understanding folks that..
Love what they are doing.
By the People..For the People!

Saving YOU time and money for Better Purposes.
Will you feed poisonous materials to your loved ones?
Will you hide malicious stuffs inside softwares shared to your friends?
Will you cut down the tree that bears you fruits?
Logic & Common Sense.
Love & Understanding.

Be assured of Safety and Satisfaction.
Be Happy..Always.
Have FUN and live a life of JOY.
Pay it Forward.
By ANY means..at appropriate time and conditions.

Support those you Love.
Yes..the Developers that you love their works.
Ads wont bite..much. Offline is not..passe..yet.
You already sneak out of paying the iAPs rite, why not let them have trinkle of those earnings.
Imagine..one day you awoke and Sbennytopia is..no more.
Just..imagine.

The Only certainity in Life is..uncertainity. Unrefutable Fact.
"The Wheel of Time turns around and on goes the cycle."
..continue yourself with Robert Jordan's infamous prose.
"The Winter is Coming."
or so says GRR Martin..decades back.
"Those in slumber, lies eternally.."
HP Lovecraft oooh
"On a Hole in the ground, there live a.."
JRR Tolkien!!!
Hey..when was the Last time you Read a Book ?!?

THE Economy of Sbennytopia
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

The System of SB Points
Currency.

:moneybagsdroid:
You are part of Civilization.
You face it..Everyday of your Life.
You use it for food, lodging, transport, entertainment etc
By claiming NOT understanding it..
you are fooling ONLY yourself.

It is..a Control system.
For ANY community.
Even bartering is Trading.
Trading is an Economic system.
Even..Gifts.
A thing in exchange for another thing.
Nothing for Something is..a Debt..a Favour.
Always needing..repayment.
For ownself..at least.
Stop pretending to be Naive for Selfish purposes.
Since a Baby..you had learnt that crying and screaming..gained you "attention".
You are NOT a baby anymore..Be useful.
Be Contributive to Earn your Place in Society.
:shockedroid:
Some complained it is Hard for them to Earn SB Points for..???
What will you use it for? What is The Purpose?
Grow up or be laugh at.
Be a Clown or Comedian.
People pays for your Jokes.
Lose the ME..Only..Now..Always..syndrome.
Have some Respect on ownself.
Act your Age or Learn some skills to be Proud of.
Even Your Parents won't abide by all your childish demands. Unless they want you growing up a crippled and useless baby.
:blushdroid:
For SB Points to be a Viable electronic currency, there has to be some Balance.
Of Logic & Common Sense.
To Supply & Demand.
Currently, we can "roughly" just agree on a resemblance of convercy-rate.

You gain 10k SB Points for $10 no?
Let's just assume its..that.
To cash-out, you will gain back $5 for every 10k SB Points
50% loss-rate. No Bank / Country / Money-changer will survive long at this illogical rate.
But..so far, it only has Limited Purpose in a Restricted community.
So..House-rate is acceptable for now.
:nerdroid:
When you Unlocked Mods..most Modders gain back 30% from the Price you just paid.
Some gain 60%, while a few could gain up to 80/90% returns.
Do The Math.

IF and WHEN you yourself are trying to sell your..services, you have some accounting to balance.
A Target of Return-of-Investment.
The time and money-cost incurred in real-life against your eventual financial-reward.
No such thing as..Totally Free..in this Life.
Your monthly data-plan, your hourly internet-cafe or Cafe's WiFi cost etc

After a while, lets say a month. You could easily sum up the cost you had sacrificed. From there, you would be able to get a glimpse of how much returns you need to cover up your loss.
:cooldroid:
Taking my case personally..IF I do this Daily, I spent around $3-5 just for the connection speed & stability. Just assume its $100/month.
I need to earn back $4 daily just to make it..balanced. Taking it as covering the cost of..a hobby. lol

With current conversion-rate of SB Points :
That means 8k SB Points Daily, at least.
Price for Unlocking set at 100 with standard 10 Unlockers..will net you 30x10 = 300 + 100 = 400 per Game.
8000 / 400 = 20 Games!!!
OR its Inflation Time.
200 SB Points per Game with 10 Games.
400 SB Points for 5 Games.
Heck. Might as well be 1000 SB Points for 1-2 games..daily.
Oh well..might as well CUT the head-aches.
STOP the cost incurred and NO More..worries.
See? Simple Solution to Complex Problem.
CUT..the Root. STOP..Doing.
:angeldroid:
Math..Never..Lies.
People..Always.
Why did Van Gogh..ended his life?
He couldn't even sell his Masterpieces to pay for drinks and women!
And..now the world Praise his Works..all over?!?
Who benefits??? His widow? Children? LOL
Have you try listening to his screaming curses?
Grow..UP. Have some..Dignity.
Respect Self and..Others.
<3

Treatise on Economics
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Who hold The Key on the Effectiveness of an Economic system?
The People. The throng of masses.
The Members of a Community.

Y O U
Who caused The Downfall..then?
Those that "think" they..understood.

💰
Here is the Gist :
A "thing" is set at 100 price.
YOU decided IF it is Worth..that.
Value IS Relative. But..there is a Standard.
A "thing" could be set at 10 and yet..NO takers.
That is..an Economic system.
Has been since..forever.
💱
Why look for Modded games instead of..Play Store?!?
Why is there even differences in category of Mods?!?
Explained..above.

A Modded Game is set for 100 SB Points.
The Modder decided upon that Price.
YOU choose to Unlock or Not.
A "patched" game CAN try to be in the Same price-range.
But..thats suicidal.

Thats All Fair and running..Fine.
Buyers..have The Power.
💲
Then come the..Changes.
Modded games netted 60% at least.
Patched games netted 30% at most.
Effectively killing..the Market of Choices.
Equality? LOL

100 SB Points for a Modded Game :
60 per Unlock.
30 SB Points for a Patched Game :
9 per Unlock.
Do The Math.

In order to Compete..patched games could be set to 100 SB Points.
Still netted 30 per Unlock.
To gain the Same Return..it should be set to 200 and..thats illogical and suicidal.
A Race that will Never be Equal.

Does it take less..Time and Cost?
Does Skills and Tools caused..Inequality?
Was it NOT the People that..Decide?
Was NOT the System..Fair and Fine?
Why then this..Forced-system?
Who..actually Benefits?
Those..that earn from "each" purchases.
NO matter the Price.
Those..that care NOT for Price.
As they gain returns.."elsewhere".
💳
Sharing is An illusion. Grow UP!
Services-provided..incurs Cost.
Back to Mommy and Daddy.
Free..then. Probably. LOL
💹
Inflation-Time!
Shop or Cry.
An Era for High-Price or Die.
A Shop it is.
Economics.
Grease for The Wheel.
💸
Modders provided "services" no?
Members demand and consume.
The MORE service-providers..
the Happier the consumers.
More choices. Better choices.
Variations. Adaptations. Competitions.
Economy is Fluid.
Socialism eventually conceeded to Capitalism.
Look at China and Russia..now.
Soar Higher once the knots be loosen.
Back to Dark Ages..if the other way around.
Tighten the reins..Choke the flows.
Suicidal in a Free Economy.
👓
Those who Care..speak out with a Reason.
Those only Demand..have their own selfish Purpose.
Judge thee not by words..but by works.
The Market always Reflect..fluidly.

If we want to talk about math, let's do a pratical example:

Lucky Patcher "Mod" (which isn't really a mod, but a patch made automatically, and no skills are required to do this)

• Time to make a Patch: 10 minutes (on average, where 3 minutes are required to patch the game and 7 to share it)
• Average online time for a modder: 240 minutes (4 hours)
• Theorical amount of patches per day: 24 (OnlineTime/num of patches)



True MOD (requires skills and time, can't be done with Lucky Patcher and doesn't require users to install lucky patcher)

• Time to make a MOD: 60 minutes (hard to tell exactly, a mod can take up to a few days to be done, but I'll greatly reduce the time to make the comparison easier to understand)
• Average online time for a modder: same (240 minutes)
• Theorical amount of mods per day: 4 (240/60)


At this point, we can say that, assuming price is equal and payout, too, that patches generate 6 times more income compared to a MOD APK file (in terms of SB Points).

Now you're complaining about the fact you get 50% less compared to mod apk files, which still means, you still gain 3 times more compared to a mod apk file?

I don't think the whole concept you brought up makes sense, I instead think you're trying to egoistically turn it in your favor, being a major LP Patches releaser. Instead, you should try to have a global view of the whole SB Points concept, which isn't meant to advantage anyone, but instead, to equally treat everyone on the forum.

Equally isn't just a number, and if I had to really be equal, I should decrease the income even more, as if you see my example above, you still gain 3x more compared to any other modder in this community.

If you're unhappy of the current situation or feel hurt somehow, or you even want to talk me about it, I'd invite you to reach me out personally via private conversation in the future, rather than starting a thread specifically aimed at me since, as you can see, nobody cared to reply besides me because it was too clear it was a provocatory message, @KentCave .
