Yes I am I am very grateful for all that I have and the price increase on games is a small issue both in the grander scheme of the world and my world itself.
Keep in mind the context of this discussion is not in a topic about more serious issues.
I first brought this up in the ratchet and Clank review thread.
Discussion on the price of games in a thread about Said game and more generally the price of games in the detitcated forum's for game discussion seems fair does it not?
It's completely fair and I'm not even advocating to shit down the thread or the conversation.
Your beef if the fact that you think your concerns are being rolled in to being a "Sony Hater" rather than a concerned consumer who is instead actually poor and doesn't want to be labeled as such.
You start off by talking about wealth (lol) when wealth has absolutely nothing to do with $70.
The average consumer (who's poor btw) owns a console and literally spends that, if not more on video games a year. No one here or out there is wealthy (there are some who are on here and out there lmao) but most of these are the same bredren that will be buying this same game day one even if they are in debt or not…and why? Because they want it. Even if it's their last dollar, those same people who are poor just like me…will spend above their means and get something they don't need because they want it for whatever reason they have. Does that mean you lost because they bought it day one? No. They bought what they simply wanted and that's all it is. If you can't handle people buying what they want….then say that. But don't act like price is the issue here. It's not and it won't ever be. People will pay for what they want whether you like it or not. However, there's another choice ….which is to not do that if you can't. If you want but you can't…then you know what you have to do….so what is the issue?
All the talking points you note just come off as if you would rather people not spend money, hold out for what they want, all to justify your argument to stick it to the man 💪🏾
What's even the point of this? If the people don't want it, it will show.Being upset that people are dismissing it because they simple can afford it and want it, and find the argument exhausting considering everything you have already invested in, to playing the game to even pitch a fork in the sand over this…is ridiculous.
Im not rich, I feel hard on my ass and now I can barely play video games as we speak. I sold everything from my last console and more to get a ps5 I don't even barely use. I didn't buy any of the games for it day one and I have 5 now and that's all because of sales. I'm not made of money and I can barely say that I live comfortably. But I know my limits and what I can do. I'm not however going to sit on this soap box and argue about price.
I will admit though, I did have a problem with Pokémon Snap being $60 though 😂😂 I had my reasons but I wasn't mad other people wanted it. I just thought it was crazy
