LOL Bananastand, how many strawmen can you put in a single post? I gave up halfway

And all I saw were strawmen and the classic arguments, like games are too expensive etc, you can spend $0 and play game (LOL, this post and this response)

Here, have an 8 year old quote

Second,NES games cost on average between 45-60 dollars. The SNES games went as high as 70-80 dollars depending on the title. Even the N64 games were really expensive at first. The reason the PS2 era games lowered a bit was that PS1 standardized the disc,which is cheaper to manufacture than cartridge. But now disc type has changed,and everything else costs so much so prices are rising. But since you might pay 70 dollars for a ffVI for SNES,and 60 is standard,add in inflation,and games are actually cheaper now.
Cartridges were actually fucking expensive to make ergo expensive games. Pressing discs? Not so much. All of a sudden though, pressing disks became fucking expensive as well. I bet you also knew that digital distributed games cost more nowadays than their pressed equivalents, despite costing less to produce a copy right?

Kids are bombarded with thousands of marketing attempts a day. Virtually every minute of their lives they are fed hype for every type of toy, game, show, movie, song, and electronic device you can name. It's all designed to get money. You never cared until it touched your precious little star wars game.

Trekkies =/= Star Wars btw.


You definitely do not understand the situation. That's ok though.

Here, a video on what's currently going on. Might give you some perspective. Or not
