you had to be there
>>742024438And my salary is worth much less because wages didn't compensate with inflation. Get raped by a harem of cacti.
Inflation isn't real. And gta comes with a subscription cost.
>old games were expensive too so it's fine that new games are also expensiveRetarded argument
>>742024562Minimum wage back then was 50ct/hr and you post on 4chan so you work minimum wage
Forgetting a 700$ console
>>742024438they also came with several discs, a map, manual, other goodiesand the console cost $400
And some retards fall for this one, they really know how to play them
>>742024438I don't have any of the modern consoles though so it's way more than $80.
The base game is $100, why are you lying?
>>742024438Is this the new cope? Do niggers really just put inflation numbers and call it a day so they don't feel guilty of spending money on preordering a cloud download?
>>742024865Remember when buying the Special Edition got you cool goodies at 80 bucks? Now 100 bucks for the Premium Edition just gets you a code in a box and restores shit they arbitrarily decided to cut from the base version. Thank you based Rockstar, I love the raping!
>>742025019>Inflation and Cost of Living are too high to live - niggas when GTA6 releases
>>742024783>>742024865>>742024993>>742025019>>742025095Move those goalposts
>>742024865>and the console cost 400$now ads inflation to that you fucking retard
>>742025096At least MK World at 80 bucks got you the full fucking game, and on an actual physical cart. These raped retards genuinely think it's OK to pay 100 bucks for GTAVI because "m-muh most ambitious game, super expensive, t-trust me it'll be worth it". Balls and guns rapees were a mistake
>>742024865>the console cost $400where? you living in the timeline where Sam Altman got aborted and the AI bullshit never exists to jack up RAM prices for everything?
>>742024438Man 4's logo is really boring.
where is that /pol/ infographic that explains that the "inflation calc" commonly used is still suppressed and undervalues by several magnitudes?
In Turkey I bought the GTA 5 for 89 Turkish Lira back in 2013 on its launch. Today I pre-ordered GTA 6 for literally 5000 Turkish Lira. Nobody cry about inflation please.. because in about 13 years it is more than %5500 value loss and I cant even comprehend that.. you are still good.
>>742025235I thought switch 2 had no physical games?
>>742024438It's a little surprising to me that this game, more than any other, sparks so much outrage in regards to this topic. Like this isn't the first game to have tgis price tag, but I'd have assumed that its fans would have deemed that if any game justified that price, it would be this one.Like I don't give a fuck about GTA, I've never played one for more than twenty minutes, but they always seemed like very high budget games with a fuckload of content to me. Like I feel like if you're a fan, you could very easily squeeze $80 worth of enjoyment out of them.
>>742025393Nintendo mostly releases games on actual carts. I think Yoshi was the only GKC they've done, but it sounded like it was more of a sandbox than an actual platformer, so I didn't buy it.Pokémon games publishing is handled by both TPC and Nintendo as far as I know and TPC are greedy assholes so I'm not counting them for this example.
>>742024438>(when adjusted for inflation)my salary didn't adjust for inflation so I don't care
>>742025161which goalpost was moved and where to?
>>742025402because GTA VI is the most anticipated game of all time and it's sales will dictate the entire future of the industry. This is the point in time where people have a choice to either improve the industry or make the industry much worse. Unfortunately many will make the wrong choice.
>>742025491No. Publishing is handled by Nintendo, and TPC is jointly owned by Nintendo, Gamefreak and Creatures. TPC has no authority.
>>742025019it's the favorite excuse from companies to gift>ah, you now, inflation has been harsh...then all the midwits will jump in on it because talking about inflation makes them feel smart, so they go and defend thismeanwhile, Micron proudly announced that their profit margin on chips has increased to 85%
>>742025235we dont know if GTA6 even exists as a gamethere has been ZERO SECONDS of gameplay footage releasedthe preorders are solely on GCI trailers
>buh buh inflationi'm not paying $80 for a game fuck off
>>742024562skill issue unironically
>>742025603Yeah but balls and guns players love spending money on their slop. They're the eternally raped.
>>742024438adjusting for inflation literally means nothing if wages dont increase and taxes dont stay the same
>>742025725Real wages are up 4% since 2020You'll just say those numbers are fake though
>can't afford gas and food>that means you should pay more for a video game
>minimum wage in 2001 is around 1100euros>minimum wage in 2026 is around 1500eurosyeah it's fucked
>>742025897wage swent up 10% in 20 years in the UKgame swent from £40 to £70 last year
>>742025402>Sequel to the 2nd best selling game of all timeGTA goes beyond having fans, everyone in gaming knows it and can fan the flames.
>>742024438No it's not, because the game is digital only. They save a lot of money not having to print a bunch of discs and reserve store space, and then ship everything everywhere to fill those stores.
>>742024438>MUH INFLATIONbased retard
how much did the price of digital games come down compare dto physical in the past say 5 years?
>>742026314How has society reach this point without slaughtering the leaders?
>>742024438Imagine paying $100 (for the complete edition) just to play some live-service mass-market goyslop.Couldn't be me.
>>742026396Whenever retards rise up, they just end up fighting each other instead of dealing with the actual issue
>>742026396The leaders have done a good job getting the working class to fight itself.
>>742024438all are cheaper than $100, which is GTA6's actual game price """adjusted for inflation"""but sure, i'll bite, lets say GTA6 is only $80, which it isnt, but for arguments sake and in the spirit of your lie, i'll lie and pretend its also only $80.you have to download it, which means you need an internet connection >The average American pays between $75 and $81 per month for home internet, with the typical median bill coming in at $78.so being as charitable as i can be, GTA6 will cost you $160 because we're liars now, when we want to defend our precious corporate faggots and we have no spines anymore apparently. but if you want to keep going down this road, there's ton of other microtransactions, dlcs, monthly service costs etc.fuck you.we shouldve gatekept better and we should be treating people like you with open hostility.
>>742025306>/pol/ infographic
>>742024438>adjisted for inflation Jewish lies
>>742024438i never get this shit, so if i have five bucks from the early 00's i have more than five bucks? i hate the magic imaginary numbers
>>742024438GTA6 us $100, the $80 poverty edition doesn't count.
>>742024562Just get a better job
>>742026396We almost had it during the Occupy Wall Street movement, until bad actors came in and played the classic divide-and-conquer game. Thanks to kikes, Christcucks, libtards, cuckservatives, and so on. We were literally THE PEOPLE. UNITED.
>>742026396Trans people are the real issue
>>742026396Every time people try something like that, (((they))) just throw up some new smokescreen. Occupy Wallstreet unironically came closest to actually starting the class war, but in a direct response to that (((they))) reignited the still ongoing racial tensions, radicalized the left vs right debate, and started actively breaking down the foundations of Western culture and democracy. All to distract you from the fact that there's literally an international satanic pedophile cult robbing you blind.Shit like this is all described in the Epstein Files (Epstein, being a Mossad asset, played a part in most of these things and even designed some of these tactics himself), but people are retarded and would rather cry about niggers and trannies than do something about the elite who are deliberately ruining their lives. They're barely even hiding it anymore and people are STILL too brainwashed to care.
>>742026396Breads and circuses. Although the circus is expensive as fuck now and the shows get worse every year, and you're being worked like a slave for your bread while the government gives it for free to sad brown people. Might explain all the discontent and occasional riots in the west.
>>742024438These "adjusted for inflation" memes always get me with just how insulting they are. Do you think I'm retarded and will fall for your bullshit?
>>742026816STOP NOTICING YOU GOYIM

>>742026816>>742026314We are in the hell right now.
>>742024783>Forgetting a 700$ console>ps3 was 599>989,- corrected for inflation700 is cheap, my nigga>but muh minimum wageIf you didnt make a single step up in your earnings in over a decade, thats on you.
>>742027206>>742027450Behold, the textbook useful idiots.Keep ignoring the kleptocrats raising the cost of living, freezing your wages for two decades, exporting your jobs to third-world countries, and poisoning your air and water. Blame the scary foreigners your TV is telling you about instead!
>>742028825The PS3 has GTA 4, DLC for 4, AND 5.
>>742030064it also had RDR and max payne 3. and table tennis, i guess? remember when rockstar were capable of releasing more than one game per generation?
>>742024438You know it's bad when "when adjusted for inflation" cope is brought in
>>742026314What happened around 1973 that started this? Female contraception?
>>742024438Cool, can you adjust my wage for inflation as well?>[insert tumbleweed sound effect here]
>>742030305It probably has to do with whatever the response to the 1973 oil crisis was.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1973_oil_crisisThankfully, these kinds of oil crisis are over. Who knows what the fallout would be like. GTA6 could end up costing 10 more dollars.
>>742030305They dropped the gold standard in the early 70s
>>742024438>muh inflationYou know every country has different inflation right? And yet cuckstar raised the price for all of them. Japan barely had any inflation until the last few years
>>742024438inflation isn't real
hmmm this thread
>>742026396Because we're not allowed to do that, it's illegal. So instead we're allowed to angrily complain online (only to a certain degree of course) and protest (only if you obtain relevant permits and get permission from the local authorities). And of course failing that, we will vote harder than ever at the next election to send a strong message that we do not approve.
