I can never wait that long for some buckets. Real niggas know I'll drop a twinkie as a 6 deuce

they're understandably spoiled

If you’re excited about a game go for it. It’s hard to justify buying games in general to me, so just do what you want and don’t worry about it.

If you don’t want to wait then don’t, it’s all chill

“Everything is getting inflated” meanwhile niggas wages aren’t going up having to pay for more while effectively making less

you niggas are ed

i don't understand this this kind of mentality tbh. Imagine a form of entertainment where people have to limit themselves just because the content is too expensive. That is what gaming do to people lol. Imagine if it was music and people would've had to wait for a specific holiday, for them to be able to buy and listen to an album at a reasonable price.

gaming is a luxury, we've just been spoiled with lower prices for years

spoiled rotten

May I introduce you to theatre

yeah it feels weird but gradual inflation is normal

it’s definitely a psychological battle because $80 feels wrong but now that $80 is a small to moderate amount of groceries when i used to leave with the cart bursting, it makes sense

I think what’s off-putting and why the reaction was especially negative is that Nintendo didn’t make $70 a standard first

If you buy or pre order buy a game day one you need to get your ass whooped , doesn't matter if it's 60 or 80$

Why the f*** would you rush with your wallet in hand to play an half assed game ?

And I'm not gonna talk about the people who buy the "Deluxe" or "Ultimate" version day one... 💔💔🐶

Gaming is not like music it's actually closer to the arts. It's now being priced as such

It is bad

But what are we gonna do? It is what it is

add me let’s run some rec gang

Dm me your user and I'll send it when I get to the crib

Key word: entertainment

You really don't have to pay $80 for a video game if you don't want to

i mean paying $60-$80 for a microstransaction game that comes out yearly just seems dumb to me when I can wait with the servers from the last game still active lmao. i like playing the game, I’m not a fan of the new price point so I’ll wait lol and save that to buy something else

i saw Captain America yesterday on Disney+, I wasn’t tryna pay the $10 to see it in theaters. never really felt like I’ve missed much of anything in my gaming life doing this

minimum wage was like $3.80 in the 90s bro, back when n64 games were $70 and $80

I get my keys from third parties and they’re always cheap

Really though if corporations want that red line to stay up, wages need to go up. The way they’re moving right now isn’t economically stable

The floor went up but the ceiling stayed the same

bet that

That's me with MTG Arena

Puffy explained it for me king

fred.stlouisfed.org/series/LES1252881500Q

Nominal weekly wages have gone up 48% since Q1 2015. Games have gone from 60 to 70 bucks in that time frame.

Don’t get me wrong, way more important stuff like housing and food have become way more expensive and that’s a very valid thing to complain about, but yall crying about games just makes you look like lazy out of touch mfers who have no idea what’s going on in the world.

Edit: sorry didn’t see someone else replied to you yet

yeah that’s a fair point

It’s been resistant because of a rapidly growing customer base (gaming got more accessible and mainstream) over 2-3 decades, and cheapening technology. COVIDflation definitely pushed the red button though these price increases were inevitable
