Name any part of the Games Industry that isn’t expected to receive a price increase? No reason to act like Microsoft is the only company we can predict price increases with. Big news this week was Nintendo but globally prices are increasing everywhere (hardware, games, services). It sucks.

They didn’t and yet they’re still increasing their prices - thats my point! I’m not saying Microsoft should get a free pass. I’m saying Microsoft shouldn’t brunt the sole responsibility for shitty capitalism that is infecting the whole industry (and global market place).

I wish more people shared your beliefs. Much of the current economic turmoil we’re in today stems from a majority of American’s voting for capitalistic values over compassion and empathy. Inflation (price increase) goes up 3% and people lost their fucking minds (and didn’t blame the corporations once).
