    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 definitely the biggest part of the affordability crisis is the housing crisis, if most of the working class weren’t struggling paying their landlords (who do nothing for society) they would have more in their budget for things like groceries and entertainment. Meanwhile corporations are buying up all the housing and nothing is being done about it

    I only buy games on sale unless its a game I am really hyped about which might be around 2 a year.

    This year I copped MH at 70 but its not looking like any other game this year is a must buy for me. If I get a Switch 2, then I would buy MK and DK tho

    Key word: entertainment

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

    I do if i want to play it at launch. The limitation i'm talking about is exactly that of having to wait for a price drop just to play a f***ing game.

    Just say you're broke and keep it pushing

    flexing about spending $80 on a game gotta be next level dumb behavior

    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

    it is dumb having to pay that for a game i absolutely agree. My point is that you shouldn't really have to wait just because the content is so expensive.

    And yes sub services like disney+,netflix etc. are really taking a lot of people away from movie theaters because of how more accessible they are. I honeslty see a future where movie theaters are really gone tbh.

    That's what gamepass and cloud gaming are going to do for gaming. It's what spotify, apple music etc did for music and i think that's great.

    I buy roughly one cartridge a month for $50. How the f*** are they spending that much on weed? Are they smoking out everyone they know?
