Phantasms aren't that great.
PHDrillSergeant:
I have a feeling I'm gonna get some hate for this.
This is one of the first QC story arcs I haven't enjoyed. Specifically, it really stretches the boundaries of what we expect from the QC universe, even taking into account sentient AIs and holographic glasses. The idea that a company would pay someone $1500 to try out a demo of a criminal ai who berates you for days is just ridiculous to me, even in a comic which has featured a robot who glues pubic hairs to his face. the holo AI is written very boringly in my opinion, and each strip here is terribly predictable.
I hope we can move on soon.
Cheers, all.
Method of Madness:
If the Glasses are the same price in the QCverse as they are in ours (for the developer edition, at least), then Dale is basically getting refunded his money for his Glasses, while still getting to keep them after. I can't imagine how spending two days with May (especially when you can turn her off, even if you won't) isn't worth it.
PHDrillSergeant:
That's what's ridiculous about it. It makes no sense for a company to pay the users $1500 to try out a demo. Any demo. If the demo nets purchases from 10% (which is a generous estimate) of its demo-users, the company would need to charge $15,000 per companion AI just to break even.
cesium133:
I still suspect the $1500 is a lie and that May is somehow scamming Dale.
