There's a difference between a point and a meaning
What serious situation
We need teenagers to start living their lives again, which it seems like they're not. A lot of people under the age of ~24 are in a really poor state, developmentally
$60 in the 1990s would be like $120 today. $80 is cheap by comparison
Idk who the first was, but Ubisoft, Activision, and EA all release $80 games. Plus there were N64 cartridges back in the 90s that cost $70-$80
They're definitely not the first lol
Software engineers are in oversupply these days
I deny that nintendo is being very aggressive with pricing here. Increasing prices once in 30 years is not aggressive at all
You're sure she didn't delete it herself due to the attention she was probably getting?
I, for one, think we live in a pretty good world if the thing that drives us to complain on the internet is a modest increase in price for entertainment goods once every 30 years. I'm not going to bemoan capitalism because I have to shell out a few more bucks for Mario Kart; that actual insanity
You can enjoy pointless things. In fact it's quite easy to do so: most people do it all the time. Just because my life is comfortable doesn't mean it has a point yet. And just because I haven't found a point, that doesn't mean my life needs to be sad and depressing. It's easy to live a life of selfishness without caring about what comes after; it's basically the default way to live
It's not like they're making baby formula here. They're making videogames. Nobody is entitled to a $60 cartridge
All companies charge the price that consumers will tolerate, that is literally how prices work. Every single thing you spend money on is based on this principle
Why would I care what a stranger thinks about me, and why do you?
Do you actually think it's a bad thing to have sex at 16 years old? I think it's a bad thing that young people are so terrified of living their lives for so long
Well it's also way more convenient to drive in most places. Public transportation in most American cities doesn't work well
You called me a mindless husk and you don't think that's an attack? Get real, jabroni. My life is great, and that's WHY I want to have children. The only people I've seen who are anti-natalist usually justify it with "life sucks, why would I bring a child into this world?"
I honestly feel that anyone who complains about the price increase of AAA games just feels entitled to pay a certain price for a game.
If the game is too expensive, then simply don't buy it. If the real price of the game $60, then that's what the market will tolerate. If it's $80, then people will pay for that. Vote with your wallet, but don't act like nintendo produces necessities; they make entertainment products. They could charge $800 for a game and your life would not be negatively impacted in any way
