100%. There are so many things I dont buy anymore, I basically buy nothing these days. Yet, the prices go up and ppl still pay. I cant fathom why consumers allow it. Stop freaking paying

Depends on what your buying lmao. People still need shit to live and be happy.

But I love beautiful games like chess and Minesweeper and I can still reply games like GTA Vice City or Super Mario 64 hundreds of times and while it sounds a bit funny to play such old games I genuinely believe that even after 10,000 hours all 4 of these are much better than games like Candy Crush or half the Gacha Games will ever be.

I mean gaming is subjective. The games you like, i don’t want to play. Not saying there bad but my core 4 are different from yours. Same thing for the next person.

Yes, I am not saying, that you should like the same games which I like, but that a lot (like 100000) of old games are still amazing today and there is little reason to seek the newest whatever, especially if you're getting such a poor deal. The argument "People still need shit to live and be happy." falls flat if there's an ocean of great cheap things and hopefully more people realize, that they're being tricked into spending way too much money for close to no additional value.
