I’m not sure I understand what you mean by “making the price of models more stable over time” as the price is entirely dictated by Gaijin, and I, as a freelance contractor am forced to take a ridiculously low price that is likely to devalue the cost of my labor and that of my fellow artists. I dont want to pollute this thread with a massive paragraph so i will hide the rest below.
Spoiler
First off, politics and economics are literally tied no matter what Central banks or the EU want you to believe. Literally every single political movement you can think off started as a reaction to economic conditions which dictate people’s material conditions aka are they struggling or doing well.
As for the “price of models”, contractors set the prices, not studios or freelance artists, if Gaijin says they will pay x or y, i have zero bargaining power, I’m an individual facing a company and they can always find someone mediocre desperate for a job and a starvation wage.
Inflation or currency fluctuations DO have an impact on industry contracts but likely not in the way most people think, however its still tough as hell to make decent money as a 3D artist (or lighting/animation/concept/compositing artist etc etc) because the vfx, film and video game industry is essentially owned by a few enormous companies who openly admit to cheating prices to keep contracting costs very low, this is why CGI is taking a nosedive these days and dozens of important studios are either closing or collapsing as i type this. Same thing with videogames, etc etc
Coming back to inflation and currency shenanigans, what companies are doing these days is offshoring work to the Global South, since the cost of labor over there is miniscule compared to First World countries (i’m using those terms for convenience, I don’t necessarely think “First world” countries are that civilized cough Palestine cough), thus your OPEX is lower and you can spend more on CAPEX and expand operations, close down expensive First World locations etc etc Inflation is trickier, if wages of First World artists stagnate you get trouble, talks of unions (something studios and prod houses absolutely HATE) and artists jockeying on linkedin to find better paying jobs etc etc, which means you can actually lower costs even more by dangling slightly higher paying jobs to a mass of desperate artists and suddenly labor value has gone off of a cliff ( this is happening as we speak in Concept Art, mostly because the entire industry is rotten to the core, explaining why is way beyond the scope of this already gargantuan post and likely to bore the 5 people who will reach this point, hah).
I dont have much time to expand on this for now but will edit this once i’m home and have a bit more time to think.

Depending on how much you play, it is up to a month:
Sometimes it doesn’t register correctly, in that case you can play just one match to activate it again.
Maybe that’s how it’s supposed to work but I guess it’s buggy because I have sometimes been blocked from posting even after a long period of activity, after just a few days of inactivity

Yeah but sometimes you just can’t play, that’s the whole problem
