I mean. Of course vidya games’ gonna get hit with inflation from time to time… just like every other product…
every link in the chain, from producer to consumer needs to have an ever growing increase in profit for capitalism to work
It’s not worth $80 to me, and that’s also the way prices work. Things are worth what people are willing to pay. I’ve purchased so many games for $20 and less that have given me more enjoyment than any borderlands game.
And that’s completely fair as well, but there will be compromises… because 100DKK is not worth the same 100DKK as for 10 years ago, so as time goes by - the games you’ll be able to buy for 100DKK, will have reduced effort equally to the reduction in value of your currency
I don’t think I’m shilling for everything… I’ve been sailing the seas for as long as I can remember… I just don’t understand why people keep getting surprised at games increasing in price - have you guys forgotten how capitalism works?
Like do you go to your local grocery store and see that cheese has yet again shrunk in size, and increased in price, and then think “this’ll never happen to my precious videogames”?
just because its common doesnt mean its justified.
i see youre pirating ok. doesnt make youre pro-increase opinion due to “link from producer to customer” argument any more true… the only blatant justification for n-letter company is exploitation. literally
