Are you excited to pay $1000+ for consoles and $100+ for video games? Le inflation means it's their true price, after all :^)

Digital ID required to connect all you're gaming profiles so you can get auto-banned on Steam, Sony and X and Reddit if you said nigger on EA, and then file a police report on you with AI because you are not a feminist. If you can dig yourself out of you're bad Social Credit Score by eating bugs you can be allowed to post again on EA, after serving your nice prison term for your wrongthink.

I own a gaming PC. I'm not going to buy a console.
>and $100+ for video games?
I have not paid full price for vidya for almost a decade at this point. I only buy games when they are on sale, and if a game never goes on sale/the sale price is still too high, then I'll just pirate it.

The fact this dude lived so completely rent free in conservatives head for a decade is so based.

Russian trolls trained you fags well.

Are you stupid? Trump is not even middle management. These decisions were made long before the man was even born. Ignorant twat. The global finance sector is to blame.

It's literally what they're doing, because boomers are tired of the unproductivity of millenials, and whether China is fully self-invented or not, I think the western bankers had a hand in giving them the tools to become a technological authoritarian pilot test country, and were always aiming to see that work as they wanted, before importing it at home.

Politicians whether they're democrat or conservative, american or european, have complained for the past generation or two that it's become "too hard" to govern, due to rampant individualism and the pervasiveness of the Big Tech companies providing anonymity, and they want more power to the state.

Technically speaking both europe and america are doing it at the same time. There's some protectionist measures in that, since there's disagreements over our alliance to Israel, and there's fear regarding data sovereignty when EU can be dicked around as long as we're hooked up to Microsoft, Google and Apple software, but I think they won't pass up any of this no matter who they are, without restricting the internet going forward, but that also includes game consoles.

They're going to do as in China so that the state controls that a child gets maximum 3 hours per week, and people over 16 can be depersoned or sanctioned digitally if the government wants to, at any point.

I never understood the inflation adjusted price argument when min wage or close to it (i.e. most of the populace) didn't grow at the same rate. Call me a gommunist or whatever but inflation adjusted pricing seems like a scam to get you to stop complaining about affordability.

It's all intentional too, it's how they subtly lower your wages and steal your money. They collude to devalue your labor and make things cheaper and more expensive, year by year, very slightly to where they can't get noticed.

For those who do look back 10+ years and notice, they can just call you a conspiracy theorist or lie and say "UMMM THINGS WERENT ALWAYS GOOD SWEATY"

I also never understood inflation.
>your dollar is now worth a cent because it just is
>so everything is now more expensive but you aren't earning more
And the public is just ok with this and doesn't question or fight against it it at all.
>>
>>738473267
>I also never understood inflation
ok anon let me break it down. The less of something there is, the more valuable it is. Few dollars in the economy? Individual dollar is worth more. More dollars? It's worth less. There's inflation because for the past 16+ years the Federal reserve has printed trillions of dollars in a desperate fight to prop up the economy

i'll play with what i have when gaming becomes too expensive and then i'll go outside and prepare for the day of the rope
>>
>>738473267
I understand inflation, I just don't get why people use it as a defense for everything costing more when income doesn't easily change for average citizens.
It's used for everything from food like bread or eggs to luxuries like games or toys. And people say stuff like "you should be grateful" because adjusted for inflation a game should be more according to the calcs.
>>
>>738472934
And then they post a flyer from the 80s or 90s with a really expensive game or console and act like your dollar was worth the same for some reason. Idgi.
>>
>>738472075
horrifying future we are looking at, I never thought it would become like this during the peak of the 90s. We were looking at a bright future of technology and then they self sabotage and become China 2.0 worldwide. Cripes.

Trump lost to Biden and they STILL talked about him all throughout media. Someone being out of a position or office does not make them irrelevant.

great times, opening vscode and starting right now
>>
>>738469550
I'm not buying a PS6 or Xbox Project Helix console, nor am I buying western AAA slop. So, this doesn't affect me.
>>
>>738474315
>people use it as a defense
it's not a defense, it's an explanation. If the guy making your burger has to pay 20% more for meat, he has to shift the cost to you or go under. Unless you think every merchant has massive profit margins (they don't). Your salary doesn't enter the equation at all
>>
Why do these retards still think PlayStation, Xbox, and western AAA gaming matters?
>>
>>738473267
>I also never understood inflation.
Every year the government makes your dollars have lower purchasing power because they increase the amount of dollars in circulation
>Who gets those new dollars
Not you.

But then why print more money if its not beneficial at all? You have two more dollars but they're both worth the same as the original one because there's more, so you gained nothing in the end?
>>
>>738477005
1. your analogy is flawed because the fed isn't constantly doubling the amount of money. The two new dollars will cost slightly less but not half
2. it's still considered beneficial because if people think prices will keep rising, they'll want to spend their money now, keeping the economy going. In a deflation (prices go down over time) nobody will want to spend anything because they'll always wait for lower prices. Deflation is considered the true end boss of economies
>>
>>738475621
It is a defense though. I understand why it happens, but people act like you shouldn't ever complain about pricing being so high because technically if you look at a calculator, it should be even higher, and you really ought to pay even more, not less.
I understand basic low skill worker pay does not factor into it, but at the same time, that's why people are justified to feel pressured or dissatisfied rather than grateful that a burger doesn't cost the $17 or whatever that it should according to calcs.
>>
>>738477005
Because aside from what the other anon said, the market is built so that it only works if the line goes up, and everyone suffers when it goes down.
Anyway buy gold or something
>>
>>738477005
>But then why print more money if its not beneficial at all?
Because then you get to steal purchasing power from poor people en-masse without them noticing.
It's not supposed to be beneficial for you.
