Snally, you don't know jack about computers, so sit this one out. The problem with "digital dresses" is that anyone can copy them. You can faff around with protections but we all know that digital clothes will end up on torrent sites about 5 minutes after they're released.
So while idiots (mostly foids) may use digital clothes in the future, charging for them isn't going to work out beyond a few rich idiots. Games only get away with it because of server verification, and even then its easy to mod yourself into having all the cosmetic items in the game, so long as you are ok with it only appearing that way on the client side.

I'm talking about the market demand, not the implementation.

You're only considering what could happen in the future with respect to what's available now. There are already apps that charge for features that can already be accomplished in photoshop or a video editor with a marginal amount of skill, e.g. meitu, YouCut. If a company finds a way to realistically add virtual clothing to videos then it's quite possible that idiots will pay for it, just as idiots have already paid for the virtual clothing by Carlings to the point where it was 'sold out'

You were responding to a comment about the "success" of such ventures. and I'm making an argument about its viability as a way of making money.

The pricing model, availability, and UI simplicity of all those apps and options varies significantly. I think the big selling point of the quick editing aps is that they run on iOS and Android. That is much different than selling a static 3D clothing object. I'm trying to figure out how best to describe it to someone who isn't tech literate...
So, comparing pirating a video editing app with pirating digital clothes is like comparing the difficulty of stopping dine-and-dashers with the difficulty of stopping people from figuring out what color the table in the break room is.
just as idiots have already paid for the virtual clothing by Carlings to the point where it was 'sold out'
That's meaningless without knowing what the stock was. It could have been 50 items for all we know, its completely arbitrary.
"And that's a good thing" because negligible resources were expended compared to tangible status goods like summer homes or yachts that rust at anchor for 11 months out of the year.
It’s not that crazy of an idea when you think about it. People have been getting exaggerated portraits of themselves since Galileo.
Look at this photo. Do you think that guy really owner that feather robe? Do you think the painter owned one? Hell no. It was a symbol of wealth to have one, so you’d slip the painter some cash and he’d whip one up.
Commissioning a painting at least demanded some skill from the painter and involved the crafting of an actual physical object. There's a value exchange in that transaction.

"Internalized misogynist" and "prude" are the new slurs for women with standards and boundaries. Don't let newspeak fool you. ;)

This is more disgusting than that girl who sucked her dogs tongue like a popsicle.
Digital collection sold out
It fills me with rage and dreams of rolling blackouts.

That’s literally what people were doing in the mid 2000s in second life tho

If anyone I know spends money on this shit, I'll spank them in an unsexy way.

How would they stop someone from stealing it?
1 HodorTheDoorHolder_ 2019-11-15
You can’t steal digital files
1 AugustinesBitchBoy 2019-11-15
I mean what would stop someone from editing the same dress for less money?
1 HodorTheDoorHolder_ 2019-11-15
Because it’s a digital file. Can’t be done.
1 AugustinesBitchBoy 2019-11-15
Ok

Secure it on the block chain and only associate or value any products secured on the same block chain. It's embarrassing that you don't know this.

Paying someone else for the right to photoshop yourself. This is definitely gonna become a huge success.

This looks like a publicity stunt: https://www.thefabricant.com/products if you look at their products page all of their files are free.

Just because uber-boomers pulled the same shit doesn't make it any less retarded

This is just some faggot with Photoshop
1 Ravensthrowit 2019-11-15
Good photoshop still takes skill dumbass
1 MoistLanguage 2019-11-15
Sure, but you can learn how to be proficient on it in one afternoon if you're interested.
You can't do that with oil painting and if you fuck it up there's no undo button.

I guess we have an answer to "how much do clothes cost in the matrix?"
