First of all, I never said I buy them on release. I pretty much but all of my games on discount. Except for Factorio.
And also, you tell me to speak for myself and then immediately admit to buying an occasional AAA. So turns out I was speaking for you, too.
But most importantly, the point was that my statement will be true for vast majority of people. They aren’t gonna stop buying AAA games.
I just saw this episode for the first time a week ago and it was worrying kind of funny to see the date. While I’m not in US, Europe isn’t doing much better lately.
You say it like my definition is the weird and unconventional one. The term literally says “passive” income. The conventional definition is “you did something once and profit from it over time without putting any or very little effort”.
In case of your weird and unnatural example, if the sale process is automated, and you can go do other work in the meantime or just sit in an arm chair and sip beer while watching TV, then yes, it’s passive income.
Your example also implies that you had some other income to sustain you while you were working on these widgets and you shifted the income from what could’ve been active income to be passive income later.
In other words, you invested into these widgets and are now receiving dividends.
