Well, in this case, it's only a singular equation, but I take your point,
British. ;)

Well, technically, it was an arithmetic fail. ;)

Now.. That is bad design. Most things "do not touch" your settings. If
they do, they include something to save the originals. If a program is
doing this, and its not because something changed so drastically that it
*can't* use the prior settings....

If you can afford to have individual price negotations with each
customer then yes, that is a good strategy, and is actually the one used
for many things. eg when you buy a car the salesman's job is to get you
to buy the car for the maximum amount you are willing to. This could
result in the next person through the door buying the exact same car for
£1000 more or less than you just paid.
At the other end of the scale you have a tin of beans in a supermarket,
the price of that is decided to maximise profit. They need to look at
how the estimated sales volumes depend on price, and choose the best
point on that graph. Of course in reality there are many complicating
factors that would skew the price away from this (eg loss-leaders,
promotions, "value" and "high quality" branded versions, etc).
I have no idea how cryengine is sold (internet blocks most game-related
pages here) but I could well imagine their big customers pretty much
demand some level of negotiation on the price and terms etc. What
business doesn't?

Or indeed, just a general fail. ;)
