women shouldn't be allowed to talk about videogames

check em

Consumers are mainly low IQ slave biomass and being anti-consumer is good. Games should cost $200+

lol

i don't know about anti-consumer but i'm sorry but no game is worth that much. i already had a hard time justifying 60 dollar purchases for years. now we got this 70 and 80 shit.

>>720629164
This.
Imagine if games were a luxury product like high quality watches and only for high-earning and intelligent individuals. Would go a major way to fixing the industry.

Why yes, I am anti-consumer.

I wonder if polygon posts this shit completely on purpose, knowing that it's all rage bait for clicks.

Not a single argument against her (him?). 4troon lost

Just stop enforcing the overblown mistake that is copyright and patent law, or at least scale it down to the individual level so that the license can only be held by individuals for a few years before going into the public domain.
Enabling megapublishers is good for a police state that wants to be able to institute mass censorship, but it's not a good model for a functional society.
Just about the only good longterm licenses enabled by this system are GPL copyleft licenses and that's just because they block copyright bullshit.

When this was the case for books, morons just kept them on their shelves as display pieces without reading them.
Your high-earning intellectuals were essentially illiterate snobs that left copies of war and peace everywhere.

>>720629591
...So you agree with her then?

>raise wages to match the rate of inflation
but that cuts into profit margins, boo -—-

it WOULDN'T be anti-consumer if we actually got what we wanted
but no, here's more dei movie slop

>display pieces
High-quality archival objects designed for curated collections.
>war and peace
Something that will remembered long after every video game to ever exist fades out of historical memory.
What point are you trying to make here exactly?

They are because I'm not going to consume an $80 game lmao

It's either a man in drag or a very manly woman.
Either way, "she" is economically illiterate, has garbage opinions, works for the devil and should simply >>720630062

I wish women just remained quiet and concealed their stupidity so they'd be tolerable.

STFU dude

Games have been (at least) $80 for a long time, with the introductory price and DLC factored in.
Now it's an $80 base price and they still want a steady stream of income.

>>720629651
Her point is what? We should stop saying "anti-consumer" because it's too implicitly capitalist and gives her the ick?
How about games should be cheaper AND people should earn more?

>>720628805 (OP)
That's great, dude, still not buying them.

>>720630998
Yeah. I was framing it as a bad thing.

>>720630918
this desu, a lot of these AAA games release unfinished and then take years to deliver what was promised
or in some games cases, especially multiplayer games, the game stays jank and the devs cannot fix their own spaghetti code

>>720631053
yeah i can see that after re-reading a bit, i just woke up im a bit slow rn

>>720630070
Without a market that is genuinely interested in the contents of the media, you will just have the exact same situation you have now,.

Games weren't worth $60 to begin with and I haven't paid for any in years.

the underlying implication is that I'd be okay with the higher price tag if I earned more, and no not really. Some things are about principle.
It's not like I can't afford to buy the games. The games aren't worth what they're asking.
Arguably, they never were. We were just faster to accept things in the past. Xbox 360 games should have been like $20. I would have been less mad at being baited into buying shitty games like Bioshock Infinite, if that were the case.
