Inflation is a natural thing. Games are going to get more expensive. To act like they could never get to be over $60 doesn’t make sense; the question is always “when”, not “if”. Almost everything is more expensive than it was 10/20/50 years ago.

Dude it’s not going to get much cheaper than 80% if it’s a decent title. I wouldn’t sleep on that. 

counterpoint - discs can be sold, and also given to friends to use.

This. Hard no on Slowbro, he won’t last the seven turns to pull the move off if Greninja is that fast.

$39.99 the article says 

Policing who is and isn’t playing it and why is really a losing game. 

Is this parody?

lol at the people who think an imdb rating matters enough to review bomb it

This. I buy physical so I can also loan and trade games with friends. When it comes times to upgrade to the next system, I can sell the games and system for enough to get the next gen system and a couple of launch games. Switch carts are so tiny too and easy to store and carry!

I agree. I think their target market is kids and easy to use (and fairly inexpensive) hardware. And I mean, clearly, successful. 

I think you may also be overestimating how many people can do that or even want to bother; there’s more of a learning curve there than we probably think since we know how to do it. Sure, you and I think it’s easy, but some 40 year old dad who doesn’t own a desktop anymore may just want to throw easy money at the…

Just? Probably very few. As a selling point? Maybe more than we’d think.

I don’t mind having to buy the hardware as much - that’s the case for lots of items we use and buy. What I resent is having to pay over and over again for the same game or paying a monthly fee to access said games. 

Who?

“While the most obvious example was Kadabra’s signature bent spoon, its name in Japanese, Yungerer, also bore clear similarities. Geller reportedly took special issue with the Team Rocket Kadabra card which featured “Evil Yungerer.””

No they WANT to feel pissed off. That’s why they watch Fox News. Conservatism is all about fear and demonization. That’s like saying “you’d think the drug user would realize the drugs they’re being sold are hurting them”

Surprised there’s no morality system - doesn’t have to be super complex but this is an established world. Surprised you can just murder people GTA style all night then wave to Mcgonagall the next morning…

I’m definitely curious if the “litter for school shootings” is also real or just the same untruth flipped in the other direction. 

To be fair, I think GMOs are fine but that’s more about “what might happen with this new thing we don’t know the consequences of” - the others seem to be more “this thing is happening/happened but it never did”.

I’m not sure I even understand. Is that two different facts?
