  • They’re kinda comparing apples and oranges, fairphone doesn’t really have a budget phone.

    They just have one model, which they gradually upgrade the hardware of and gives a new number.

    Right now there’s barely any sellers of a Fairphone 4 as an example, and you’re able to get it for ~400 euroes from refurbished condition sellers.

    Most brands, continues to sell old models. Which ends up as the budget phone 3 generations down the line. But fairphone doesn’t, they only sell a fairly powerful phone from new condition.
















  • I’m mostly looking forward to the advertisement campaign, because this will be the largest global campaign to date

    A cool billion on advertisement is not impossible with the size of this production. It’s insanity.

    But regarding your pointers;

    1. Goty? Don’t think so, tends to go to innovation.

    2. For sure, this will carry so much hype it will sell a fuckton. It’s also been like a decade and some, since the last GTA released. It’s a huge IP.

    3. absolutely not, I’ve not seen anyone expecting massive amounts of innovation. It will be a continuation of what GTA already is, likely with better graphics, a huge world (possibly the largest digital open world to date). But innovation? Nah, big investments kills innovation in games. They need a safe bet, they’ve not pushed 2-3 bn dollars into a game that could be either 10 million of sales or 10 bn. They’d rather take the safe 4 bn
