Is there actually "people" unironically defending em at this point?

Legit asking

I "defend" it because I, as a consumer with a functioning brain, can simply choose not to buy a luxury good if I deem it not worth my money.

Admittedly I only got a B in my high school economics class over 20 years ago, and never want to college, so it's entirely possible I simply don't understand any of this.

And we, as consumers, can also complain about the pricing.

and nobody is taking that right away from you.

You can complain about any aspect of a game or a company, but other people are allowed to think you're melodramatic for doing so.

I never said anyone was taking that away from me. It's more melodramatic to assume that I was because I made a one line comment

You can, and it will do fuck all.

Not actually buying the thing will at least have a small impact.

You can do both. You can criticize it and not buy it!

You can shout at clouds too.

I just find people a bit silly that are complaining. Just don't buy the games if you think they're too expensive. There's so many good cheap games nowadays you really didn't miss out on much.

You can, but if your plan is to complain but buy it anyhow, then all you did was furrow your brow while handing the corporation the money they asked for. Anytime you buy something you are sending the message that you're tacitly okay with paying that price for that product. Instead of turning into internet Karen who wants to speak with the CEO about their prices, talk with your wallet. Don't like the price, don't buy it. Bad sales is how a business knows they're fucking up, not internet chatter.

Yeah I'm the same.

I can afford it, and it looks fun, so I will buy it.

If it didn't look fun or worth the money, I wouldn't buy it.

Simple.

Exactly. If you're so hooked on Nintendo that you NEED to buy the new mario kart, then it sounds like Nintendo is more than justified in increasing the price.

Hell, if it's really unthinkable to you that you'd simply not buy mario kart this time, then maybe the price should be even higher than it is.

If someone complains about the price of Mario Kart, it's probably because they're buying Mario Kart, thus contributing to proving Nintendo's pricing.

You understand how this works. I have had the unfortunate experience reading certain replies here and in other threads that goes beyond just complaining. Certain people seem to think they have a right to consume luxury goods (expensive entertainment in this case), and then encourage piracy and other socially deviant acts when they don't want to pay for said luxary good.

That’s probably a good enough letter grade to get a cabinet position these days. Don’t sell yourself short!
