    I don’t think I’m shilling for everything… I’ve been sailing the seas for as long as I can remember… I just don’t understand why people keep getting surprised at games increasing in price - have you guys forgotten how capitalism works?

    Like do you go to your local grocery store and see that cheese has yet again shrunk in size, and increased in price, and then think “this’ll never happen to my precious videogames”?

    If so, then I guess I’m sorry to be the bearer of bad news

      just because its common doesnt mean its justified.

      i see youre pirating ok. doesnt make your pro-opinion of increase due to “link from producer to customer” any more true…

      the only blatant justification for n-letter company is exploitation. literally

        I’m not justifying it anymore than justifying the increase in price of cheese.

        But instead of spending your time being angry or annoyed at individual companies. Spend your time being angry with the system that requires the companies to have an ever increasing profit.

        And stop being surprised by it, accept that this is a symptom of the capitalism, and if you want change… well, then… it will not happen by itself, and it will not start in the gaming industry.
