So trying to maximize profit is a socialist thing to do? Lol, ok then this might be one of the most absurd things I've read so far. Do you honestly think that companies like Valve, Microsoft, Nintendo and Sony do this for the charity of those poor people? |
We're talking about a hobby that is a bonafide luxury. If you can't afford the games or hardware, you don't get to play them. It's fair when everyone has to pay the same (excluding a country's taxes) prices. Forcing others to pay more for a luxury so people with less money can afford it is just asinine and frankly it's the socialist thing to do. If someone wants to play video games, they can make more money to pay for it. You said that people should pay more for games and hardware so that others who can't afford it can pay less for the hobby. That's the socialist thing to do.

IKR? Why should wealthy people subsidise the entertainment of the poor? I'd be more understanding if it was something they'd literally die without, but video games? |
Exactly. This is really annoying because we're talking about a luxury, not food or water or a place to stay. If really poor people can't afford it, tough luck. They should focus on other things besides luxuries if they're that bad off.
