    Moderate Inflation (around the 2% target) is necessary for the current economical system to function. It incentivizes people to either invest or spend their money instead of sitting on it.

    I’m not sure we share the same definition of price gouging.

    Seems to me like they’ve just upped the price $10 with each successive generation of consoles.

      Games have been around 60 dollars for over 39 years now. Not sure what you’re on about. If they had gone up 10 bucks with each console generation they would be like 150 at this point.

  To me, $70 is a reasonable price based on what bread costs now, but the minimum wage needs to like, triple.

  The focus on freemium games and whales may even be driven by America’s wealth gap.
