THE ENTERTAINMENT MARKET
from my experience of these things, any buyer looking at taking HSX on...
would have little interest in altering a format that works and attracts many loyal players or else they would risk jeopardising their investment. To this end, it would make no sense in offending or turning off current users by messing up the gameplay side or even rendering their port values meangingless*.
Naturally they would look to firm up the financial side of the concept: be it through advertising or annual subscription fees or as I have long thought would be a good idea, creating a seperate/parallel option that is similar to a fantasy sports concept: whereby players buy into seasonal leagues (at various buy in limits) are allocated a fund, and have to maximise the value of the fund before the end of the defined season, with prizes available for the winners and HSX taking a cut of the buy in fees.
* As someone with a pretty meaningless port value as it is, maybe I am not that fussed about this anyway. I have long thought it would be good if the game was less a perpetual marathon and more competitive for the players who joined later.

Last time I tracked HSX accuracy [somewhere around 2007/2008] the market's average adjust was H$0.56 over the course of a year Aug 16, 09:17
I have a suspicion.. Aug 16, 09:29
The point is that the market, as a whole, is a pretty good indicator. Aug 16, 09:41
Whatever the motivator, it isn't creating an accurate predictor... Aug 16, 15:53
