It's not the amount, it's the precedent of thinking, "well, we're doing so good, and the PS5 is selling great... so we're going to put a premium $10 tax on everything PS5!".  Greed is an awful thing, and companies have this tendency to only push prices up when they're the market leader already making the most money.  This is virtually the universal complaint/concern: I haven't really seen anyone say that $10 makes it unaffordable lol

It's not a premium tax. I'm paying for the same ice cream as in 2000, except now it's nearly twice as expensive.
$50 in 2000 currently amounts to $78

It's not greed, it's inflation.
It's also not greed to charge for actual work having been done.
They're not charging for BC, the charge is for the extras.

Governments have the tendency to devalue money over time.

Inflation is a tricky area because it's not linear: there's socio-economic value that has to be accounted for.  In other words, if the dollar is suddenly worth half, the price of goods would not simply double to maintain the same "value".  This is WAYYY too big of a topic to bring up here, but inflation is not as simple as people make it out to be, not that the cost of living (at least here in America in more tech focused cities) hasn't vastly outpaced minimum wage in large part due to inflation... lol

Irony, you should look it up.

Remember, even the people in this thread who disagree with me or against me are staying on the topic of the thread and video: you made it personal and went for me instead.  This might surprise you, but to adults, this speaks volumes about the kind of person you are.

You keep reinforcing how spot-on I was.

👍

But here,  I’ll give you what you want: “What a good and funny review format you chose for yourself. So clever and imaginative! There’s really nothing I can imagine you could do to be better! So, so good!”

You really are proving you only see/hear what you want to...  As if no one criticizes or disagrees in which, unlike you, I've proven I'm willing to have civil discourse.

"You suck, you're bad, cringe" is not civil discourse.  That is why my responses to you are short: conversation with you is impossible because you simply do not like me but lack the ability and honesty to state it and move on.
