Artificial scarcity. You could just sell shoes at a reasonable price in stores. OR you can hype them up as a limited exclusive, make people fight over them and jack the prices so high you can make the same amount of money while actually making far less product- and virtually guarantee you’ll move the whole run. 

Am I oversimplifying if I say the solution to this “problem” is it to just not fucking buy this shit*?

Back in myyyyyyy day, when devs wanted to get more of your money, they had to release more content!

You’re not off base, they do. This was worse, because Doug made the mistake of sounding like he was guaranteeing a win, the week after getting pantsed by the Vikings, after one of his linebackers said they didn’t have to worry about Cousins’ passing.

HEY KIDS, WANNA WATCH US LOOK AT BASEBALL CARDS?

It’s startling how similar the Eagles are to the Phillies this year.

Dallas has yet to beat a good team this season.

They’ve fixed nothing since last season. I’m not even sure how last season’s defense managed to get them as far in the playoffs as they got. Grit? Luck? Sheer chance? They can’t stop the run.

glad it isn’t just me. These autoplay videos are obnoxious, especially when I have one embedded within the article and one on the side, and both are playing at the same time. Get it together gizmodo media/vulture capital overlords

Skins are just three games off of first.

WHY ARE “RECENT VIDEOS FROM DEADSPIN” AUTO-PLAYING. MAKE IT STOP. I AM SO FUCKING DONE JESUS FUCKING CHRIST QUIT RUINING DEADSPIN.

Rivers brought all of his kids to the game.

As great as the Giants championships are, along with the Cubs prophecy of dominance only to follow the blueprint of the Red Sox: win and retinker; the Astros are the true dynasty in this decade since they’ve showed up in the ALCS in the last few years, have 100+ wins, use the best pitchers in baseball, and had the…

Don’t worry, New York, we still have the Knicks starting what should be a MIGHTY season in just 3 days!

I’m always shocked when the camera pans the crowd at Yankee Stadium how many guys look in serious need of a throat punch, it’s quite a startling percentage.
