Obviously not buying from them would be the best option, but we all know that's not going to happen. So instead of relying on the customers to somehow do a dogecoin level of unity, companies could strike back with a plan instead of just biting their thumb. |
Why would the "companies strike back"? If scalpers are buying up all available stock the companies have made their money and the scalpers have now assumed the risk of an item not selling at a profit.
Personally I got away from day one console purchases back in the PS2 era with the exception of the Switch, Wii, and WiiU. Bought the PS2 once the slim version came out. Bought the PS3 off Ebay with extra controllers and lots of games for way less than MSRP (used is risky but that PS3 is still kicking). The PS4s (I've bought 3 ) I've bought new but long after they were readily available at retail. Since I couldn't find a PS5 and my Vader PS4 bit the dust i bought a PS4Pro used. When the PS5 is a normal sight in retail I'll probably wait for a Black Friday sale and buy one for the kids and maybe one for me. Personally I will not pay scalper prices, hell I don't even like paying full MSRP.
