supply and demand doesnt come with a manual in real life. Companies spend great amounts of time and effort researching price points, and trying to figure out how much a service is worth, they also have to pay someone to research the going rate on any good and service, breaking also down to region, and trends, they dont have an automatic guide, and they probably wouldnt want one, because it would essentially fix prices and not give them the elasticity they would like to see.

also, supply and demand when given full transparencies, kills most businesses and leads to monopolies and horizontal monopolies. Unaided Target or something target like will kill all other businesses that are smaller simply because of ecomony of scale, and a higher overall capital

economics isnt some simple thing that only has two variables, and will automaticly work itself out, it needs a fair amount of law and checks and balances to exist. And its a lot harder in a videogame, which doesnt have a lot of the factors that mitigate it.
