I hate that you get downvoted for pointing out the reality of the situation.
Relative to the price of everything else, $80 for a AAA videogame is actually reasonable. The problem is that rent has gone up drastically, food has gone up drastically, and our wages have stagnated. Getting pissed off at Gearbox for charging $80 for Borderlands 4, and then paying $15 for a burger and fries without an equal reaction just doesn't seem sensible to me.
Everything is awful, and videogame devs aren't the ones stealing all our buying power.
Very on point. These same people complaining about the price of games will still buy a packet of chocolate biscuits for $7.
You have no idea how the people complaining about video game prices spend their money. You just disagree with them and make shit up apparently.
You're just butthurt because I'm not agreeing with the majority.
Of course. I'm literally shaking with pure rage.
Excellent!
