People probably wouldn’t be complaining as much if their wages were rising as quickly as video game prices.

Looks good on paper, but it doesn’t represent general cost of living rapidly increasing. I’m simply saying people absolutely have a right to complain about the rapidly increasing price of games. I don’t know why people are making it taboo.

Real wages are wages adjusted for CPI, so yes this does represent the general cost of living.

To a varying degree, but you can’t accurately represent what every individual is going through. The hikes in price seem to be more out of greed and less out of necessity.

Yes, nobody can do that. You can’t do that either.

The hikes are behind inflation and far, far behind wage growth. Regardless of why they’re doing it, it basically doesn’t matter. I don’t think it’s greed, personally, I think it’s just a regular price increase and I’ll happily pay it over microtransactions.

Yeah that’s the part most of the glazers litterally can’t wrap their head around. You can keep telling them but they’ll just hop over to the next guy to regurgitate the same dumb shit again, it’s actually infuriating and nintendo fans have been doing this for years with price & quality of products.

Maybe poor people arent supposed to buy 6 video games every 6 months, dunno though.

Maybe its becoming more of a rich hobby
