In my lifetime rent has quadrupled, video games have gone up 40% (only very recently). Yeah you're right that the likely $10 max of distribution costs going away definitely ought to have made games $5 brand new despite inflation making every thing else insanely way more expensive.
Only a fucking baby could mistake being completely rational for being a sImP. Fuck every single corporation. They're all scum. Fuck irrational idiots harder though.
I haven't spent over $60 on a game maybe ever so try not to base your entire lifestyle on buying the world's most expensive videogames as soon as they will take your money, then complain about it because mommy is no longer paying and you have to work for money or whatever
And totally yeah let's just ignore how easy it is to find images of NES games going for $90 in 1987 and that then dev teams were 1-7 people while now that number might be hundreds of people.
The fact that you're this mad and this unreasonable tells me you're unhinged for some other reasons as well and you probably need a lot of therapy. Either that or go back to reddit where interactions like this are considered normal.
Man, your simping and long diatribes are really amusing as hell. Me mad? No, not really. I actually enjoy calling out simps like you and watching them trip over themselves trying to white knight hard for corpos who don't give a shit about you as customers. Please, do write more, I'm sure someone will make this into a great copypasta someday.
You still sound really upset. Maybe if you ask mommy she will buy you some gamey wamies
Not slightly surprised there wasn't a shred of a response to the actual logic I laid out lol
