nah. i am a white man, i will wait for a cracked pirated copy to appear, and i'm sure it'll appear quickly due to the demand. i already know this game is going to be the most hyped shit ever released and suck enormous cocks.

But Sony fanboys keeps insisting how cheap gaming is on Playstation

>>724880193 (OP)
man, if only there were games that are better and cheaper or something, ironically called indie games despite explicity not employing indians in their developement.

>>724880193 (OP)
Why not just pirate?

I don’t care of much persona 6 is. If the MC can’t date guys or if it doesn’t come with a female character then I’m not buying it

Since I don't purchase games I am not enirely poor.

>>724880548
that's because there's only like 5 games. You don't have to spend too much to own the entire library.

>>724880193 (OP)
Yes, Rockstar games are the highest quality games there are. Still won't pay more than 60€ for GTAVI.

xhe fell for the meme LOOL!!!

>>724880193 (OP)
gaming is a poorfrog hobby though. even if you are an enthusiast, the most you'll be spending is like 500 dollars a year. thats chump change considered to most grown up hobbies like cars, travel, collecting antiques and what have you. i think they're just kinda deluded to think they can charge so much, especially since there is already a massive library of better, cheaper games to play

Curious to see how long they could keep that price.
Most people isn't buying a 100$ videogame, but GTA probably has a million of fanboys ready for it.

this board is so fucking dead man

how does a bunch of money going to a single publisher that has already paid their developers and only make one game every 10 years grow the industry?

I dont see how this benefits other games? Like do they think they can charge 100 bucks for their games just because GTA does it? People wont pay that much for anything other than GTA and Sports crap and Call of duty.

>Persona fan
Don't worry they already don't buy video games

>>724880832

lmaoooo they can fuck off. There is nothing more this series has to offer, there's no way I'm paying that much, I doubt I would even pay 70. It had a hella good run with the 3D and HD universe, but this just doesn't interest me anymore. They are drunk on power if they think they can live up to a hundred bucks for something that has been milked to death already.

Why would increasing prices rebound anything when the problem is that nobody feels like paying premium for slop?

>>724881037
if boomers saw that a gazillion gamers are stupid enough to pay $100 for GTA6, then that would start a new wave of investor mania and they would take their money out of big tech A1 schemes and park it in a bunch of AAA game companies instead. they would all start making their own GTA6 killer and that makes a gazillion profit. it would really be cool

Higher prices mean better games.

>people aren't buying games what do we do?
>increase the price

GTA VI: $69.99USD
>one year later
GTA Online 2: $29.99USD

There's no way it won't. The game has been in development for 10+ years and there's not enough platforms in the market for them to make all that money back.

Genuine question, how DO most people afford video games these days?

After taking out our mortgages, food, kids costs (clothing, school, daycare), insurance, cell/internet/streaming bills, gas, gym memberships, maid service, funding our IRAs and brokerage, I only have enough for one vidya every couple of months. And my situation can't be that unique.

>>724881116
AAA games are flopping all over while being sold for $70-80 for base game and way above $100 for complete editions
Nobody is buying these games anymore
GTA will be an exception of course because it's GTA

I'm unhireable.

>>724882473
They don't
People aren't buying a lot of games anymore, that's why everything is flopping

>>724882259
the funniest part is that it's not even greed, it's stupidity. video games (digital products in general) are unique in that they have essentially $0 production cost per unit after they've been developed. valve discovered that selling stuff for cheaper almost always increases profits

increasing prices only really works for physical products, because there is a production cost and a margin associated with every unit sold. you may sell fewer units but you make a greater margin on each one, leading to higher profit. so what is likely happening is the dumbass boomers in boardrooms are telling these studios to increase prices because they think they're selling cars instead of video games

it doesnt help that most *good* games are made by studios that actually understand the market they're in, so they're either reasonably priced (silksong) or f2p (marvel rivals)

not that overcharging doesn't still work if your brand name is strong enough. EA did the "battlefield is BACK baby" for the 2nd time and people fell for it again. i'm glad anyone who bought that pile of shit for 70 dollars got burnt on it

eh no, i don't think there is a real plan. i think they're just incompetent or following crooked incentives. recessions hit the poors first, but it will eventually catch up to the rich as well in various ways, after which there is nothing else for them to do except accept a reduced quality of life, or move out and eventually lose the ability to extract in that country

There is: burn the world so the elites can rule over the ashes. They are the only real people and they are right to kill the unnecessary cattle. As long as the elites' iron grip on the world remains unbroken, anything goes.

>>724880193 (OP)

i want kids though
why would i not
it's literally wired into my brain alongside with wanting shelter and a yummy meal
i might be autistic or whatever but i'm not that damaged that i'm somehow eager to avoid a basic biological need

I'm just not interested in GTA 6. Anytime I say that someone has one of a half dozen of names/excuses they call me. It seems boring. GTA 5 seemed boring from every video I've seen. I turned 33 this year, I'm not the target audience for these games anymore and that's ok, but I wouldn't buy GTA 6 for $10 let alone $100. Half of this board is washed up millennials like me, wouldn't be surprised if there was a few more like that. It's not that it looks good/bad/whatever, it just doesn't look interesting to me.

That's a normal non-FOMO pov to have for this game at your age. You're old enough to have played GTA3 and thus have gotten the entire experience they've been copy pasting for the last 20 years. It's like getting excited for PacMan in 2025.

This anon beat me to it. These fags would charge $200 tomorrow if they could get away with it which is why they seethed so much at Silksong for reminding people that AAA pricing is not commensurate with the value of the products.

Indie games have tranny flags

>>724882310
If you mean that they will sell GTA Online 2 without the single player for $40 cheaper then this is incredibly likely. They already did this with GTAV and RDR2. Cheaper game price means more players to milk with MTX

>>724884010
Consoles are paying for its exclusivity, they'll have microtransaccions, dlcs and lootboxes on day 1, their required PC launcher will farm your data... The least they have to worry about is the retail price.

this kind of sentiment is something i would call "doomporn". it's not very logical and there is no real evidence of it, but it does track with the idea that the world is full of evil. i think ex-soviet bloc people echo it the most, because russia is the closest we have to a nation run by a perpetually conspiring evil elites. but in any kind of western world setting, it kinda reduces a real complex system to just a vague, brainless "the jews did it" tier conspiracy theory

i think the elites are mostly following the incentives presented to them and basically winging it. they are definitely more selfish and have a sort of perpetual lifestyle creep issue, because if they didn't, they wouldn't be so rich, but i don't think they're really egomaniacal villains. except maybe peter thiel and his type that are sort of doing it as a hobby.

>>724884358
desu i've been playing games for like 24 years and and the last AAA game i bought, like on release, was probably GTA5. i did buy RDR2 like a year ago for like 10 bucks, but i got tired third of the way through. all the AAA games just seem like chewed out and spit out slop, and most games i actually enjoy are niche strategy/rpg titles or maybe some indie coop thing

i just don't see a reason to spend that much on games. i have much more fun dropping hundreds of dollars on airsoft and airsoft accessories

by the way just so this message get through to /v/
this wont do any positive change for the overall sake of the industry
if anything if will only embolden suits and goldmansachs investor and banker types to squeeze your wallets even tighter
none of that money would go into improving the overall game experience
things will still remain in the same questionable quality

>>724885320
Hard disagree. With impediments like Denuvo and the gutting of easily accessible public tracker sites it's harder than ever for plebs to pirate games. And that's without considering further negative developments like increasingly invasive operating systems (and even hardware), litigious publishers/developers, and the slow awakening to the space that governments are having putting things like VPNs and public trackers at risk even in some first world countries.

What I really want to know is whether the normies are going to defend the $100 or pretend it doesn't exist

Pretty sure the game will be barebones online, most likely progression will be locked behind the cloud so if you want to play offline, if it allows you to play offline, you'll be watching the opening cutscene each time you launch the game.

Completely reasonable given the enormous development costs of these games. Gamers still haven't adapted to the fact that gaming isn't a growing market anymore, there's no longer an expanding market share to cover rising development costs. So either production values need to come down or prices need to go up. Gamers claim to advocate for the former in theory but in practice almost everything between indie and AAAA flops. Gamers still expect new games to consistently boast bigger and better spectacle, they're just mad that these improvements no longer pay for themselves in new sales.

>I shouldn't have to pay that much
Then fucking don't, retard. There are more options than ever for gaming on the cheap. Emulators, indies, and competitive f2p got me through college. This isn't about gaming entertainment, this is about your FOMO-addled brain being unable to cope with missing a single major new release.

How will GTA6 being 100 make games better?
It won't, what they mean by "rebound" is indie devs deluding themselves into thinking the price ceiling has rising and they can now sell asset flips for 20 instead of 15.

What they are asking for is GTA6 to set a new precedence that people now accept 100 is the new norm.
Indie devs seethed over silksong because it didn't do that for them and instead released for a reasonable price other devs simply can't match in terms of quality/price

>>724883723

I wouldn't care - but the thing is they will be making another $300 off shark cards and shit later down the road so it's just greed to raise the price of the base game at this point. Same for everyone else. They aren't raising the price of the base game to recoup costs. They've been raking in profits from microtransactions and DLC for the last decade. There's no reason to raise the base game cost.

What does that have to do with grand theft auto 6 and video game prices?

>>724889897
>2. Cost of goods sold just has total dev cost/units anyways
???

my point is that something like pricing something like a car is different from pricing a video game.

a car might cost you 5 million to develop but 100k per unit to make, so it can make a lot of sense to increase the price. adding a 5% markup only adds 5% to the price but it can double your margins. so markups can be very effective for increasing profit, at least in the short term. there are car makers that specialize in selling to a small amount of buyers, because if your margins are very good, it can be very profitable.

on the other hand, games can cost like 200 million to develop but cost next to nothing to distribute. so if you are looking for double the margins, you'd also need to increase the price by double as well, which is naturally going to affect the customer's willingness to buy way more so than in the car market. so the whole approach of trying to increase the prices to increase profitability is a fundamentally broken idea in the digital world. they *should* be trying to decrease development costs, but they don't know how to do that aside from laying people off randomly and ending up with games that are still expensive but also shit

>>724891520
>which is naturally going to affect the customer's willingness to buy way more so than in the car market
in terms of looking for similar margins, i mean. if you're selling stuff, it's easier to get away with doubling your margins in the car world than in vidya world

Have you tried doing your own chores instead?

GTA 6 Online will be free to access at a base level however you will need to pay for a subscription service like an MMO to get access to most missions and higher levels of customization (like car shops, nicer clothing shops, etc) The only missions available to non subscribers pay chump change and like GTA5O everything in every shop will be marked up 10000% You'll have to pay a subscription fee for the privilege to grind higher paying missions and save for/buy higher quality items. Shark cards of course, will mitigate all of these issues because the shark cards will now go into a separate "bank account" on your character that is basically a premium mobile game currency

it makes sense if you consider that most of the money floating around in the AAA games industry does not come from customers buying games, it comes from investors trying to chase le next big thing and throwing handfuls of cash at anyone who sells themselves as having a chance. gta 6 being a massive success would give all sorts of MBA types ammo to say like "oh yea we can make that too, just give us ur investment money"

In my cunt when the PS2 was released games were $100 - $120, $60 if they went platinum.
Games on the new generation consoles are pretty similarly priced. I think Forza Motorsport with all the DLC bullshit included is about $150.

Analysts are braindead. Most games aren't even worth $60 and almost every game that was $70 underperformed BECAUSE they were $70 but suuuure you will absolutely get the same amount of sales you do now at $100 and it will save the industry.
Reminder: almost every analyst predicted sales would KEEP GOING UP after Covid ended, and not that the extra sales during that period caused by people being unable to go out would end as they returned to their preferred hobbies/spending.

Video game industry analysts are the only people more retarded than video game reviewers.

I make like $11,000 a month nowadays with my current investments and job. I still only buy a few new games a year, most of them just aren’t worth the time let alone money.

Fire this analyst. GTA6 and the next Call of Duty are basically the only IPs that could get away with a base price of $100 and no one else. Everyone else would sink.

Why are gamers such pussies? As far as hobbies go, gaming isn't expensive. Even having a hobby revolving around textiles is more expensive. I bought a 2000€ Synthesizer last year. Meanwhile I spend maybe 250€ on games per year, and if they're on PS5 I resell them for 70% of the original price. And considering at least half of the good games per year are Indies, and higher budget games release pretty rarely nowadays compared to back then, gaming has become more affordable overall.

>>724880193 (OP)
it would be funniest if they charged $60

I don't care if the "industry" rebounds. What does that even mean. Is Rockstar "THE INDUSTRY"?

Seriously. Fuck this game and fuck rockstar, go BLM your game off a bridge faggotlords. Never getting a dime from me.

It's all relative whatever going strong and doing well means to you all I know mobile is a 100b industry while pc and console are ~30-40b each. Plus devs are constantly getting sacked.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022%E2%80%932025_video_game_industry_layoffs
As far as I am concerned the gaming industry is mobile which is primarily gachaslop, Microsoft which is consolidating into one giant monthly subscription model and Saudi family bought EA to milk sports games. On top of that triple AAA are pushing for 100 dollar games which is what this thread is about and while Sony and Nintendo are glimmers of hope if this pricing shit reverberates through the system (It will) I will screech. Anyone with an ounce of gamer in their heart knows collectively this shit is shit.

>>724880193 (OP)
I've always found it a bit of a small blessing that Rockstar games just never really appealed to me at all; that I have no desire to play GTA6 so whether this game is 80$ or 200$, I am utterly unaffected.
Like watching people get thrashed in the wave pool while im in the lazy river.

The truth is that if Rockstar prices it at $100 they absolutely will make a fuckload of sales. It is that big a game. Everyone wants to try it, they'll pay that much. It's perceived highly enough that it completely bypasses most consumers' initial defenses against FOMO spending, so people will justify it easily. Other publishers thinking this is their chance to release $100 as MSRP are absolutely fucking high, and I look forward to the numerous studio closures brought about by this attempt to raise the ceiling and having the house collapse on them.

>>724881119
no adjusting needed.

>>724911150
I don't have a problem paying full price for a game, the problem is there are no games recently that I'd be willing to pay full price for so yeah I usually just wait until its dirt cheap a few years later.

>>724882259
Basically the idea is that the devoted few make up for the many that are priced out
Obviously lowering the price also can make many more people buy your thing.

Games increasing in price would solve a lot of problems. It wouldn't make DLC micro purchases such a necessity, and it would price out a lot of browns. Games are basically the same price they were back in 2006, and nothing else is, and honestly $100 isn't that big a deal to anyone employed. Anyone unemployed being driven away from gaming would be a net positive for both them and gaming.

I haven't enjoyed a single game ever since they started selling for 70 dollars, its just been a constant stream of disappointment.

>>724880193 (OP)

Some will be greedy, but a door will open for others not to be. Right now that door is financially unfeasible. If retards like yourself get priced out of gaming, it can be 2004 again. And if you're allowed to stay, gaming will continue to be converted to your favella. It's that simple.

>>724915658
For sure, things usually work out the way I picture them in my head. This is why gaming improved dramatically when whales were introduced to the meta.

>>724915871
Gaming has declined because of an influx of poor brown retards, and various strategies to cope with greatly increasing costs but not greatly increasing prices. This conversation and your continued inability to understand this is a great example of that. Great games can't be made with people like you in the audience, you need to be sent back to brazillian mobile games or soccer or some shit like that.

Inflation if nothing else. $60 in 2006 is around $98 today. The games I played in 2006 were about $60 and mostly still are. There are a lot of other things going on like dev costs and player expectations and brain drain and brown people and so on, but just that alone should be enough for any thinking person. Everything around you has gone up massively, and games really haven't. The attempts to cope with this are behind a lot of the things /v/groe retards complain about every day.

>>724880193 (OP)
Look, all this is simple:
Are new games worth 100 dollars?
Hell are they even still worth 60 dollars?
From what we all have seen over the last decade is a console really worth it?
Do consoles provide value equivalent to its cost?
For me? No. Not for many console generations.

i hope the entire industry and its parasitical 'investor' class crashes and burns. you have stolen gaming from me and turned it into a non stop parade of pump and dump schemes, rug pulls, and always online software as a service shovel ware made entirely by third world subhumans.

And it doesnt even matter if the industry recovers, or if the game is profitable anymore. We now live in a world where some street shitting jeet can just delete the entire amazon games department from a multibillion dollar corporation because he wants to hire his desi village auntie to make 'ai games' whatever the fuck that means.

Gamers are going to unironically retvrn to trvdition before the nazi larpers do because pretty soon old games are going to be the only thing worth playing.

>>724916501
They have tho. You know this which is why you're hedging with "really" what you're talking about is a bump on top of that in a naïve hope that they'll think that's enough profit. You said it yourself that just covers the cost of inflation they also need to make a living you're going to have to keep swiping.

It reduces financial pressure on the producer, allowing for more risk taking. It's why gaming was broadly better from 2000-2010, it isn't like nobody in 2005 knew what a profit margin was, it was just easier to make money on smaller, more niche projects.

The biggest advantage by far is it prices out >>724917390 and similar from the market, and so you end up with games that mostly target gainfully employed White adults again. When you have an industry that is a race to the bottom and in a death struggle to appeal to declining IQs, you get modern gaming. Nobody but the declining IQs in question wants more of that. An increase in price would change the audience, and I can't think of any single thing that would be better for gaming or mass media in general.

Gamers are retarded

There is marketing advantage to giving people what they want. CDPR did it, Larian tried to, other parties will come along and 'do it right' based on what online gaming communities are saying, and in a different environment with a different audience they'll succeed. When you don't need to move 50 million copies and 100 million DLC purchases to hit 2%, you open up a lot of maneuvering room. Again, it isn't like for-profit public companies entered gaming for the first time in 2010.

The idea that prices are determined by some kind of nebulous concept of "what's fair" is fucking retarded. Prices are determined by market forces. Whether or not you personally believe that games should've increased in price with inflation is irrelevant, whether or not you believe it'll make games better is irrelevant, holy fuck this is not a command economy where a central authority sets prices. These threads always read like people think they're soviet bureaucrats setting the price of commodities.

You're brown and ESL, and so have difficulty understanding conversational English. You know enough to say "good morning sir", but not enough to pass. See if google translate will handle this for you:
the gist is that prices haven't kept pace with inflation, and so real price is actually much lower than it would otherwise be, and these so-called increases are really just bringing gaming up to par with literally every other market and good and service on Earth

Now, do your little head bob and see if google can explain it to you. Last (you) so I hope it can.

>>724918267
>Prices are determined by market forces
And the market will bear a higher price, and shedding those parts of the market that won't will be a net positive for everyone. It has nothing to do with central authority or whatever midwit rant you're on. Get a job you retarded ass broke losers.

>>724918461
Nobody said they did, that's brown reading comprehension. But brown people are genetically predisposed to low IQ and ADHD and because businesses do care about getting people to buy their product, the greater a share of the market these people represent the greater the influence they'll have over the output. Not pricing out the dumbest retards is directly responsible for handholding and yellow paint and all the rest of it you people bitch about daily. Hell, make it $200.

>>724918414
Being able to sell to a larger market has driven games to their current hyperbolically inflated market that you see today, and are why games like Concord which are shilled to imaginary people don't sell. Selling games as an exclusively upper class luxury will comically reduce the market reach to the point where they would make the same or even less if they started charging 100-300 dollars per game.

>>724917615
people still got paid the same but the money is worth less now

>>724918684
Ok, you don't understand what i'm saying. Businesses set prices based on what they think will make them the maximum amount of money. These businesses do not care about "filtering browns" or whatever the fuck, their goal is maximize revenue.

>>724918751
>>724918684
It's really the same concept as anything else, you make an expensive private school and you get a nice school, you make a free-for-all with free lunch and a bussing program and you get a prison. You make an expensive neighborhood and you get a nice place to live, you make 'low income housing' and you get a war zone. Well, gaming has been turned into a ghetto, and here's a chance to start reversing the trend. I don't care about the size of the market in terms of bodies, Android dwarfs Apple and yet Apple makes more money and by a huge margin purely by catering to an employed crowd. GTA especially should be more expensive specifically because it appeals to the lowest of the low, and then everyone can follow. In ten years, maybe we'll have gaming again instead of redditor gayming.

in the first sentence you described a community problem and not a product problem
>Apple makes more money and by a huge margin purely by catering to an employed crowd
You have either never had an iPhone or you have never noticed the social pressure people feel to owning one from the green messages to being called broke
>GTA especially should be more expensive specifically because it appeals to the lowest of the low
which is why it should sell for cheap because the market is to hood niggas and retards who unironically own an HBO subscription

None of your post even addresses the quality of games for their price, you are just talking about the status. If you wanted to talk about price-gated gaming, stop being a desktopping poorfag and get into VR headsets.

>>724880193 (OP)
I'm not poor, but $100 for a vidya game is crazy, when we know its going to be pay $100 to beta test the game while they patch it to a playable state.

>>724919346
Is this the part of the thread where I educate the midwit, who then uses his google search from fifteen minutes ago to resist and remain retarded? They do it by balancing costs, market demand, competition, and perceived value. They often start with cost-based methods, adding markups to production expenses for profit, then adjust via value-based pricing to reflect customer willingness to pay. You are mistaking 'this is a positive side effect' for 'this is a root cause' because you're an unintelligent person, probably similar in hue to shit. Exactly the sort of person who should be priced out.

>You have either never had an iPhone or you have never noticed the social pressure people feel to owning one from the green messages to being called broke
Here's another one that can't read.

>because the market is to hood niggas
And the price is too low to recoup costs, so you increase the price, you retarget to a new market, and everyone gets a better product. We've had our decade+ of ghetto gaming, it's time for something better. If you can't afford at least $100 a few times a year you shouldn't be playing games in the first place.

>>724918939
>>724919356
Shit, if the cost of getting into the hobby and its community is a point of appeal to you, why don't you get deep into racing sims and race against actual professional drivers from F1? If you want to breakcheck Max Verstappen on iRacing, you need a couple thousand dollar peripheral kit.

>>724919346
not anon but it depends, there are groups that get together to manipulate supply-demand, labor laws, harvesting laws, impart tariffs, ban certain countries that might provide competition esc, and those are the non-violent routes

>>724919608
Explain how "pricing out browns" benefits take-two.

>>724919620
>a point of appeal to you
Again, you're not reading. The appeal isn't cost for it's own sake. Cost is a tool to sanitize and sculpt the audience pool as a means of maintaining the actual appeal, quality games. I swear this has to be the dumbest board on 4chins, worse than /pw/ even.

>>724919753
>Cost is a tool to sanitize and sculpt the audience pool as a means of maintaining the actual appeal, quality games
no it's not. cost is a tool used to make money.

>>724919742
I would recommend you look at any of a dozen posts where your misread of simple statements has been corrected, and the thinking behind the actual statement has been explained, repeatedly. Me repeating it another few times isn't going to make you any smarter. I'll give you this starter hint: nobody said that pricing out browns was the motivating factor. They said it was a beneficial side effect.

>>724919823
Does your translator have a character limit? Is that why you're incapable of translating posts in context?

This thread by the way is a shining example of why we need more expensive games. I want $2,000 consoles and I want the GPU alone to be $4,000 on a good PC, give us $200 games. Look at these illiterate ghetto rat faggots, imagine trying to design games around them and NOT being able to use yellow paint? How would you do it? You couldn't. Imagine trying to make a game for an audience that straight up can't read.

i agree whole-heartedly but reddit is also a sack of shit. both sites are completely up to their tits with bots it's fucking crazy. every "major" website is like this now

>>724919753
Let me get this straight, you want to trim out the audience of people who are both not that interested in the game, and fans who can't afford it, so you can... make the same amount of money appealing to a "new market" which is not confirmed to exist?
None of that makes a game better. None of that liberates developers to making the game they actually want to make. Games still cost 450 million and they still have to make that money back and they won't make it back making 1m in sales

Budget is the main thing holding devs back from making games they want, and I'm not saying it's too low. The subsequent return on investment that needs to be met is astronomically high that they can't do anything but appeal to the lowest common denominator. The budget, and that RoI point, has to be lower to accommodate for a lower sales figure, niche appeal, and experimentation.

I'm not going to spend 100 dollars on a video game.

>>724919931
you can always live your life spending your capitol on a motorized all-in-one gaming pc surround station , nothing stopping you from wasting your money now, i'm sure there are price gouged steam games you could get scammed into playing with your trust fund friends

>>724920178
Dude but like...brown people and stuff.

No, I'm just right, and you've run out of things to say.

You've missed the point entirely, because you're the exact sort of shit that needs to be flushed.

>>724920263

Poor brownoid detected. What's the matter, can't afford it?

>but muh heckin inflation!
>devs need to eat too!

Every single argument for price increases is incredibly stupid, customer base has grown tenfold in the last 20 years, devs aren't getting paid better and greedy fuck companies will sell out to arabs anyway. But sure pay $100 while the people who made the game get replaced by AI.

Imagine if they did a Silksong and said 'fuckit, FIFTY DOLLARS'

>>724920316
You think you're doing a redditor uno reversal because you can't read or follow simple ideas.

>>724920346
I have, but then I see things like >>724920316 and realize that no, the audience is the problem. You could be the greatest mathematician and the greatest educator to live in a thousand generations, and you could be given a thousand years to teach the smartest dog that ever lived, and at the end of that the dog still wouldn't understand algebra. Some ideas are beyond some people, doubly so when you barely speak the English being used to communicate the idea, and that where most /v/groe retards find themselves today, stuck in the mud, barking away, not learning algebra.

>>724920420
I'm sure you think all sorts of things like that, given you're demonstrably retarded.

maths is for machines, don't think it impresses anyone to push boulders up hill anymore.
also i haven't seen you use an argument that wasn't attacking someone

>>724920848
I've yet to attack a single person. All I've done is accurately describe you. Calling someone who consistently fails to read or understand simple statements "dumb" is no more an attack than calling a six hundred pound man "fat". I'm sure that's something many of you retards can relate to.

>>724881037
its a manipulation tactic for example game charges $100 lots of people buy it any ways. many stay away. a few months past buy and 50% sale shows up and now your like HOLY ShiT half price what a steal.
but your now just buying games at the price people were a few years ago at 50$
bigger price means bigger saving on a sale and more purchases all while giving companies even more money. the main issue is they are gambling on the game having legs. which they would be any how.

>>724920728
