You need to understand buisness and understand whats considered fair pricing and whats ripping off customers. 

When Xbox wanted to raise Live prices, the customers complained and good on them because it was ripping customers off. 

When Sony announced $70 games and want to increase Hardware by $50 for no apparent reason, is ripping customers off and due to people like yourself defending them, they are walking away with your money.

It actually baffles me on those defending unnecessary price hikes. Listening to Corporate PR and accepting it meanwhile they bank billions upon billions of actual profit.

Also if a worker is starving, thats not the companies issue. I know zero jobs for giving workers pay rises because they are starving. 

Reasons were given for the PS5 price increase.

That you accept those reasons or not due to your own well known biases is a topic of its own. 

And you actually believe that? meanwhile they continue to sellout of hardware daily and profit billions from their previous buisness model? Sad if true. 

Bias has nothing to do with price hikes. Take the goggles off for once and see what is actually happening around you. They want $50 more because they know they can, not because they need to.

Business is business. The ps5 sells out immediately and Sony can easily raise the price.... so they did. Pretty simple. Consumers dictate prices, not companies. The Switch is a great example. Could Nintendo reduce the price? For sure... but why would they? Nintendo has shareholders to satisfy. Corporations aren't going to leave money on the table.

Customers dictate the discounted price, that part is true, but not price hikes. Thats pure Corporate greed.
