I'm not confusing your point about a bad comparison. I'm confused on your point about it being a bad comparison because I disagree. I believe they're comparable. If there's a reason they can't be compared, perhaps you haven't explained it as well as you think you have?
I asked about your values because I believe you are trying to to make a point about the economics of large vs small studios, and I want to understand. So rather than imply I was insinuating something (language that suggests I understand you, but am being willfully subversive), could you actually answer what was outright an attempt to understand your point?
Why do the back-end costs matter to the consumer? I do understand the difference between the two and that's what makes the original meme funny.
Either you're confused or you disagree. That's fine.
