V3.4.0 Stable

Another limit may be at 32768 aka 2^15 if they used signed short integer for the number or use 1 bit as a flag for something.

Macrotransactions are what matters now.

To get every possible sale even 2 months is not too long, stores are showing that (you yourself brought that as an example). If we assume that online-skin sales function differently though (and I suspect as much) then the basic advertising rules you reference that "everyone knows" may very well...

Yes. We all are speculating, especially when we apply motives to TFP. Well, they seem to have done this "test" or whatever it was with 3.3 as well (at a minimum), there were serious bugs they warned about left in stable as well (if I remember correctly). Maybe it is not even a test, but...

Maybe the high price is a reaction to steam sales and the custom of many players to buy anything only when it is reduced, or adapting to the price schemes typical on console !? Anyway, isn't it nice that people have something to complain about while they wait for the next free content patch...

V3.3.0 Stable

I doubt this is possible with 7D2D and doubt this happens in all of game development Fataal told us that they do all their work on the upcoming major version and then backport some of the easy or important ones to current minor version. So I don't see how your example would occur here. What...
