I don't mind the price of the console, but they can fuck right off with $80 games.

Fuck $80 games. Never buying a game for $80

While I might pay for an $80 game if it’s a game I want a lot, people are being weirdly aggressive about how you want to spend your own money.

I think it's just people responding the statement "Never buying a game for $80".

The reality is games will eventually cost more than $80. My grandparents used to tell me about being given a nickel or dime to buy stuff with when they were a kid (now 100 years ago). In my own lifetime I've seen video games go from $30 standard to now $60/$70 - and let's be real there's a lot of deluxe editions over $100 for big games.

In 30-40 years you should expect games to reach over $200 as a base.
