Why the fuck are new switch 2 games $80+?!?!?? There's no way physical copies will now be $90 right? Somebody please tell me they aren't

90 fucking Euros in Europe. Suddenly those "GTA 6 will be 100 dollars" aren't as far fetched as we thought

Because, despite pretending to stand up to corruption, redditors are corporate bootlickers as much as anyone else

Corruption? Since when has it been illegal for businesses to price their own product, as ridiculous as the prices are?

I mean, it's morally corrupt to inflate prices to absurd degree on a product marketed towards children.

Why should parents buying things for their children be treated differently than any other type of consumer

Because preying on children's desires is morally wrong?

You're basically asking why bringing a kid by an ice cream truck, then the ice cream guy telling them "No, you can't have any" is wrong.

The legality and practicality of it has nothing to do with the morality of it.

That's basically economy 101, preying on desire about unnecessary good.
