UberDeveloper On Its Way

The heat is on within the gaming industry to become the first UberDeveloper. To qualify as an UberDeveloper then you have to reach a number of very simple criteria.

(1) Have no competition. An UberDeveloper does not survive by being the best. It survives by buying out the competition so that it does not have to compete in the marketplace for the best product. Microsoft lead the way as direct proof that this really works and is a legitimate businesss philosophy. Consumers don't need more choice. They need less choice. Let's face it, corporations don't think that consumers are very smart. They certainly don't think that consumers make the best choices when it comes to purchasing a product. Without having any competition then corporations can take away the need for consumers to make any choice. This is the ideal capitalistic reality. A place without competition where consumers are forced to purchase their product.

(2) Creating product for the lowest common denominator. Being an UberDeveloper without any competition then you don't have to spend as much time and money developing a product. Because there is no competition they don't have to worry about other product clouding sales of their own product so they can develop with the lowest common denominator in mind.

(3) Do not listen to your customers. This concept integrates perfectly with our world view which is based around survival of the fittest. Because you are the UberDeveloper then you no longer have to listen to your customers. As the only surviver in the industry then you are living proof that your formula is the best. Listening to customers will only give way to an inferior product. UberDevelopers don't get to the top by listening to customers. They got their by ignoring them and pressing on nonetheless.

(4) Release annual updates of games which are sold at full price and labelled as a new game. Because there is no competition you can release whatever you want, whenever you want and charge how much you want. This is the real beauty of the UberDeveloper. It will mean more choise, more often (roughly translated "this means more profit for shareholders more often").

(5) Now that you own all of the franchises then release the one the costs the least amount to make supplied by the lowest bidder. Release the product that takes the least time to finish. Has the smallest amount of content to prevent large scale consumer revolt and requires the most amount of "Expansion" to maximise on total profit.
