OP in another year or two:

Why are you complaining about $100 games? Adjusted for inflation, they should be even higher

All these are actual useful things

needing to pay $15 a month for a loicense to play a video game is an "actual useful thing"

Begone schizo headcanon thread.

People pay for [bad thing] all the time so why complain about [bad thing]?

Get the fuck outta here with your busted ass logic

other people let themselves get scammed so you sbould too

implying you don't spend money on stupid shit all the time

implying you can't just avoid buying stupid shit for a little while so you can afford a new $80 game when it comes out

I literally do not pay for a single one of those. Besides a battle pass I bought once 2 years ago. I have not paid $70 for a single game ever either. I will not be paying $70+ dollars for Switchslop

This just proves the point though. People are already paying a bunch of money on shit they can't give up like streaming services and uber jeets. If the choice was a video game or video console or stopping food delivery, they would give up the games

see

implying you don't spend money on stupid shit all the time

It's true, so no, I am not going to buy your console.

I got a Game pass for Fallout 4 because the game was gifted to me so I figured "why not?" since it was only $35.
I havent paid full price for a game since Stick of Truth but refunded it because I thought I was going to get an actual RPG not just South Park fanservice.
I havent bought an EA game since Valheim and I was drunk and my wife loves it so it's still kind of a win

$70

lol
lmao

just don't use your money for things so you can buy overpriced thing

I accept your concession

The only one of these I have ever done in my entire life is buying fast food, and I only do that on road trips because I enjoy cooking.
$80 is too much money for a video game. Buying a $4 mc-slop doesn't change that.

paying a bunch of money on shit they can't give up

"NO DON'T TAKE AWAY MY SLOP I NEED TO WORSHIP THOSE CORPORATIONS BECAUSE THEY RESPECT ME"

You don't need any of those things to survive and be happy. Games will continue going up in price and there's nothing you can do about it. Have fun being unable to play online multiplayer games when they cost $100 in the future.

The stupid shit I buy are useful tools from government auctions like stainless steel prep tables and a flat bed truck.
$80 is still too much for video games. Spending money on [thing] doesn't justify price gouging for [other thing]

You did not read my post. Try again.

I can, but will I?
*omm intensifies*

I don't buy anything, is not necessary, pirate all the way

One piece

Illiterate

The Anon Babble memes are true

>implying you don't spend money on stupid shit all the time

I don't, use all your wagie dollars in investments if you actually want to go somewhere in this life

Are you two one of the poors or something?

Doesn't know how to optimize his monthly spending

Complains when prices go up

Demands the world give him free shit

Sad. Many such cases!

Can't play online multiplayer games

Piracy is cope. Enjoy having no friends! Not because you can't afford games, but because nobody wants to be around you in the first place. Sad!

tendie's stance of superiority relies 9n delusion he simply cannot let go of

Sad

DUDE JUST BE HOMELESS FOR BING BING YAHOO!

i seriously hope you guys spend your money on overpriced shit

(because it'd make me feel really fucking stupid oh god i thought we all did it)

fast food

I rarely buy this shit.

thirdly, even if I were a huge whore of a paypig for other commodities, there's an argument to be made about how each of them could cost less. it's simple, don't nickel and dime me, or I won't participate. fuck you. you're not entitled to my money.

this is a high school tier understanding of market contraction
Things can't just endlessly get more expensive. Demand goes down, price follows.

Companies had previously intended to raise their game pricing and Trump's tariff simply gave them an excuse. If everything improves, they will maintain these prices for their games.

be told they're not spending money on worthless things

HAHA YOU'RE SO BAD WITH MONEY

Tendie are you okay?

You still did not read my post. I accept your concession.

not having passive income

not also having a side hustle

not also donating plasma

not also having investments

complains about vidayyo gamoos being slightly more expensive

genuinely ngmi

I have purchased none of these

a retard and his cash are easily parted

buys nipponslop from family mart

begone weeaboo, i can see your IP lex

The only subscription services I have are ProtonVPN and a Anon Babble pass.

Literally don't pay for any of those. The most expensive non-essential thing I buy are models off Amazon and I don't bother with Amazon Prime because most of them are shipped over from Japan so there's no god damn point.

stupid goy

it's $80 too much in my opinion.

Lmao shut up you stupid teenager.

I just spent a grand on a cow woman in a gacha game, money well spent, I don't think I'll be buying a switcharoo 2 though.

Buys a VPN

Buys a Anon Babble pass

Complains that $80 is too much for a game

the company that charges a subscription fee just to play multiplayer also wants games to cost 30% more than they did five years ago

this is our fault somehow

Put your face in a running lawnmower.

fast food

yes

literally everything else

no, I also don't even pay 60 dollars for games, hell, even a 40 dollar game gives me pause.

Sorry I only waste money on niche furry porn to suit my specific tastes with my specific characters.

Things can't just endlessly get more expensive.

Oh you poor poor soul who thinks the jews care about things like rules and economics.
They'll play this game until it pops then get bailed out and play it again.

My phone is 8 years old and can barely open an app without crashing but I refuse to buy a new one because I can still text and make calls

So desperate for attention

he defends greedy corporations trying to fleece him

Your grandmother survived a holocaust, a famine, and two world wars all for you to be a retard on 4channel. You dysgenic retard.

Masterful bait OP
I doubt anyone even knows what it really means to bait anymore, as our collective IQ sinks, and twitter refugees flood the site

EIGHTY DOLLARS IS JUST TOO MUCH MONEY FOR A VIDEO GAME

yes

Why should food be overpriced like fast food?

Its food, people are hungry but if you overprice it people will just eat somewhere else because eventually they cant afford it.

Its not like a video game that is not a necessity.

Honestly, either OP is a professional baitposter or he's legitimately stupid enough to think the people complaining about overpriced games aren't also complaining about overpriced everything else.

The other two consoles have been charging money for online services for almost two decades now

"NO HOW DARE NINTENDO ADAPT TO THE MARKET AND USE STRATEGIES WITH NO PRACTICAL DOWNSIDES"

I mean that's what you get for being a console pleb. You are literally arguing over which brand of lube you're getting fucked in the ass with. In the end, each corporation is gonna dick you down like the worthless slut you are.

I'm not defending corporations, I'm just attacking the poor because I don't like poor people. It makes no difference to me how much money corporations make. True gamers will find a way no matter how much money things cost.

I don't buy any of those things, and i'm not buying 80 dollar games either.

Economy makes no fucking sense.

people who print money lend with interest

you now owe them X + Y, but have no physical way to pay them back since they print the bills

People say "bait used to be believable" when in reality, actual beliefs have become bait.

I spend tops 600 dollars a month which includes groceries, bills, and pet food plus whatever else i want. I'm not buying your faggy 80 dollar games just like I'm not buying any of that bullshit. You're a fucking retard.

in summary, it's not "food" it's a corporate product. they can raise the price because consumers just willingly give them data. they meticulously rake over that data to try and predict your behavior, then use those predictions to inform pricing. there is no way to stop giving them meaningful data. they are getting aggressive about it. they have cameras everywhere and have for eternity, but now they'll use AI cameras to look for certain aspects of a person's behavior to try and figure out what they're thinking. on top of that people just willingly use their apps (often times because prices are cheaper on the app) and in doing so they build a profile of your purchasing habits and what you're willing to withstand in terms of pricing. if you don't use the app, their employees are trained to ask you questions about it; "are we purchasing with the app today" and other questions to get an idea of what you can be influenced to do.

it's dogshit really but there's no way to fight it beyond not engaging at all, which can be difficult for some because the food is like crack and designed to be incredibly palatable to the point that people legitimately have addiction-like reactions to it.

The uncomfortable truth no one wants to hear is that battle passes and DLC and microtransactions exist because of market demands for video game pricing to remain a low buy-in. The average price per player that publishers target is way north of your $80 price tag just it's an industry standard now to carve out content and unlockables to sell later. If vidya prices kept pace with inflation, it might have swerved this horrid fate since clearly you faggots have no self control. That said, raising prices now doesn't put the genie back in the bottle; it just adds margins.

I don’t buy any of that. Except drugs.

I don't do half of those things

He hasn't mastered the technique

What is with the Nintendie defense force going to bat for this shit? Just trolling for some cheap (you)s? I can't imagine anyone fellating a company harder than this.

Tendies truly are the worst posters on this board.

The uncomfortable truth no one wants to hear is that battle passes and DLC and microtransactions exist because of market demands for video game pricing to remain a low buy-in

They exist because of corporate greed and gamers having such low standards it can actually succeed. We've been through this song and dance a dozen times already. They said removing physical media would make the games cheaper, it didn't. They started adding in on disc dlc, micro dlc's, then microtransaction, then battle passes, then games went to 70$, now 80, gta6 talking about 100. Meanwhile corporate heads still give themselves million dollar bonuses, and their games fail not due to a short price, but a lack of sales, and poor management.

corporate greed

"corporations are the reason i'm poor!"

Unironically, price and microtransactions wouldn't be an issue if dev teams weren't dumping the GDP of a small nation into making the hair on your character grow in real time. Relatively-cheap-to-make add-ons and cosmetics only exist to make up the budget of the main game, when there are indie teams making great games and releasing them for the price of a coffee.

I'd be okay with people complaining about it, if they didn't

buy ELITE MASTER EDITION for shit like AssCreed, just to play the game 2 days early and get a skin

buy DILDO RAINBOW UNICORN and DJ BIG POOPA shit in COD

buy League of Legends/Valorant $500 skins

buy monthly Battle Passes

buy gacha coins

Nintendo games would be the closest to, since they're the only ones still making games.
