Yes you do, Americans always end up paying more than whatever's listed, something priced 69.99 will be like 75 dollars
Jonathan Long
I bet 4 million people have already pre-ordered
Brayden Sanders
I know this is bait, but this is due to tax rates fluctuating between town, county, and state.
It shouldn't be on me to count that tax rate, but I'm not in charge.
oh, and it's not a tip.
Joshua Stewart
How long until they update the horrible PS5 boxart.
Ryder Adams
>sells you exact same controller after 30 years for double the price
Yes sir that will be 29.99 plus tip
Juan Baker
Imagine paying for “call of tranny: post op”

James Nelson
Hey man that was really really funny. You're such a clever funny guy. You should be on Saturday Night Live or something. Because of how you're so fucking funny.
Gabriel Baker
Don't forget about tax
That's another $20

WAGES HAVE STAGNATED. INFLATION DOESNT FUCKING COUNT IF THE AVERAGE CONSUMER STILL HAS THE SAME PURCHASING POWER AS THEY HAD YEARS AGO.
TRICKLE DOWN ECONOMICS DOESNT EXIST, DEVELOPERS WILL NOT BE PAID MORE REGARDLESS OF HOW MUCH MONEY A PUBLISHER MAKES EVERY QUARTER, THE EXTRA MONEY GOES INTO THE HIGH EXECUTIVES POCKETS
EVERY SINGLE DECISION THAT STEMS FROM CORPORATE GREED HAS NO DEFENSE, ITS ALL ABOUT MAKING MORE MONEY AND INCREASING QUARTERLY PROFITS FOR INVESTORS TO ATTRACT MORE SHAREHOLDERS
THE MODERN BUSINESS CORPORATION HAS YET NOT ADAPTED TO THE WAY SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT WORKS, IT STILL RELIES ON BUSINESS TACTICS USED ON OTHER FIELDS THAT REQUIRE DIFFERENT SENSIBILITIES. EVEN SOFTWARE ENGINEERING METHODS SUCH AS AGILE AND WATERFALL ARE RARELY EVER FOLLOWED CORRECTLY BECAUSE CORPORATE STRUCTURE IS USUALLY INTERRUPTED BY POWER TRIPPING MANAGERS THAT DONT ALLOW FOR FLEXIBILITY IN STUDIOS AND DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS
I WILL REPOST THIS IN EVERY THREAD TALKING ABOUT GAMES BEING MORE EXPENSIVE UNTIL YOU FUCKERS REALIZE THAT GAMES ARE ACTUALLY EASIER TO PRODUCE AND 95% OF THE ASTRONOMICAL COSTS FOR MODERN AAA GAMES COME FROM CORPORATE STRUCTURES HIRING HUNDREDS OF USELESS PEOPLE WITH ZERO COMMUNICATION BETWEEN TEAMS TRYING TO DELIVER A PRODUCT WITH "ROUND TABLE ALGORITHM DECIDED FEATURES" FOR A MASS CASUAL MARKET
BUY MORE INDIE AND AA GAMES AND SUPPORT SMALLER DEVELOPERS, STOP FEEDING THE BIG CORP MEAT GRINDER.

Not for all jobs dummy. If you have worked at a fast food restaurant for 40 years maybe

Hunter Foster
I'm canadian and since games are $80 here im assuming this will be $90?
Christopher Kelly
No i'm just 1% more knowledgeable about this than you
Josiah Garcia
you mean CEO and business executive positions? not everyone is sociopathic enough to get those jobs, you know? most blue collar jobs, specially in the video game industry, are still getting paid the same shit they were paid way back then while their CEOs get more and more money
Joseph Wilson
this product has been brought to you by the People's Republic of China
Henry Evans
>ou mean CEO and business executive positions?
No like professions that aren't fast food. Plumbers and accountants and coders coders and electricians, even clerical workers.
Dominic Richardson
From 1973 to 2013, hourly compensation of a typical (production/nonsupervisory) worker rose just 9 percent while productivity increased 74 percent due to technology and longer working hours. The same typical worker is better educated and has more experience in the same role.
Henry Richardson
trade jobs have completely different work enviroments than your usual blue collar worker
and no, programmers arent paid more. if anything, with the oversaturation of STEM and shit, people are getting paid LESS because "they're easily replaceable" and hang onto their jobs by the thinnest thread
Isaac Turner
Are games gonna be $70 on PC soon too?
Parker Parker
>programmers arent paid more
Wrong
Adam Cooper
Thank you, King Ding Ding.

>From 1973 to 2013, hourly compensation of a typical (production/nonsupervisory) worker rose just 9 percent while productivity increased 74 percent due to technology and longer working hours
For which jobs? Not all jobs saw increases in productivity. Fast food is not that much more efficient than it was 30 years ago.
Hunter Nguyen
The soviets were the good guys. Stalin saved Russia and murrishart was the jew capital of earth
Thomas Morris
NOOOOO BUT WHAT ABOUT MY FREEDOMS!!!!! N*GGERS AND ANARCHISTS MUST BE ALLOWED TO BURN DOWN CITIES OTHERWISE YOUR NOT FREEE!!!!!!!!!
Bentley Campbell
why are you comparing fast food to programming?
Mason Campbell
Aren't these games basically american exceptionalism far-right propaganda? Calling something tranny has lost all meaning at this point.
Eli Morgan
Neoconservatism and pro-LGBTQ are essentially the same thing.
Parker Hernandez
>why are you comparing fast food to programming?
I'm not
Eli Taylor
you're using fast food and blue collar programming like they had he same market prospects from back then and now
Chase Hill

It "should" be what the consumer is willing to pay while still making a profit for the publisher. Why the fuck do gamers attach morality to the pricing of video games?
Austin Diaz
Have fun with a scratched game disk.
