Scalpers are the natural result of the free market

Covid should be the best time for gaming because everyone's staying at home, but even gaming companies fucked that up somehow.

I don't mind scalpers, but this double MSRP bullshit is retarded. Charge a few hundred extra? Sure. Twice or more? Why the fuck.

>p-please scalper-sama, lower your price just a little bit...
those prices are staying the same until production catches up or people like you outright refuse to humor them

The PROBLEM is that you have to participate in capitalism to be comfortable within capitalism. Unless you are a bum or building an off-grid commune you must participate in capitalism, that is the problem user and your point is grade school level pleb tier shit

You can live without your 500€ toy, get a grip manchild.

Scalpers are simply the result of informed resellers.Bitch about the ps5 but it's gonna be available again in a few weeks, retrogamers have been literally fucked from youtubers and normies suddenly realizing there's demand for 30 years old dusty games and fucking CRT. Thank god I play on emulators, but prices for original hw/sw from the late 00s/early 10s until today has skyrocketed.

>Buying from scalpers, far over the price
>A new (overpriced) console where there might be defects that come when a new console comes out
>That has no games

And when Covid ends, gaming is even more fucked because now everyone who's been trapped in their homes are gonna want to go out to places and apricate the freedom they're given back.

Wow big brain think right here!

Sony won't suffer any PR nightmare, they're not forcing you to buy from scalpers, they'll just do what xbox did for the 360 and "fix" the issue or replace your unit.

Due to the political climate around the world it's actually a great time for any issues or mistakes to be aired because most people are caring about things of substance rather than their video game console being defective. Sony and Microsoft would literally have to kill people with their units to get any attention currently.

or you could either be be accelerationist , or drop out of society ? people that try to reform capitalism or marxists that believe in a peaceful transition are pretty retarded.

And, yet, a little nigga in the woods removed himself from the technological society while attacking it.

No excuses.

>console company wants to sell their consoles for $600/700
>that would cause outrage in consumerbase
>instead of that they give all console to their employes, so they sell it for $1000/1100, they can keep $100 for themselves for every console sold, while also claiming they sold out
tell me why this wouldn't ,

>"removed himself from technological society"
>by setting off a truck bomb
lmao

>Sony won't suffer any PR nightmare
They will when peoples PS5's start shitting the bed, they've spent over a $1000 on them, and they're not getting replacements.

You think people are going to blame themselves and their poor decision making? LOL

difference is, those people actually did something about it rather than bitch and moan for someone else to change things

This is an edit. Where is the original where it says "I am very silly."

oh boy another Zig Forums thread about economic systems where people thing Capitalism = Markets

the people who buy from scalpers are the minority though, and the failure rate isn't even known yet the consoles have barely been about. Literally anyone claiming any definitive failure rate number is an asspull.

You're an absolute dreamer if you think that normies are angry at sony and not scalpers, people are crying that the scalpers are making money around christmas i'm not hearing anything negative about the PS5 from msm and social media other than a lack of stock or supply and demand complaints.
