And let’s take this outside of the myopic view of only looking at inflation.

Console gaming revenue: 1996 - 7 billion, 2022 - 30 billion

Let’s look at specifically Nintendo here since we’re talking about Super Mario 64

https://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/pdf/2001/011121e.pdf

2001, 664 million in profit, adjusted for inflation in 2022 dollars, 1 billion.

https://www.tweaktown.com/news/84668/nintendo-made-6-billion-net-sales-1-7-profits-in-q322/index.html

2022, 1.7 billion dollars in profit.

You forget that in 1996 the gaming pool was also magnitudes smaller compared to today and despite all of the whining about increased development costs, which I also think is bullshit but that’s a different conversation, profits have increased to keep up.

So my opinion, no there’s absolutely no justification for a 80 dollar price point when you look at the over all picture.

Yeah, the Democratic leadership is completely corrupt and inept at this point and they did every every progressive presidential candidate dirty these past decade. And yeah it’s really sad and sickening that even now they’re thrashing like crazy and doing everything they can to resist progressive influence, trying to keep their wealthy donors happy, look at what their trying to do with Hogg.

But yeah, I do really agree with Sanders that Democrats, with all of their major character and leadership flaws, realistically is the only way to beat Trump and the Republicans.

He’s absolutely right with this current Democratic party and it’s shitty leadership.

Because Sanders isn’t a Real Progressive^TM and actually smart enough to acknowledges one can both be critical of the current Democratic party and leadership while accepting the reality in actual daily life in America and its citizens.

However, Sanders did strongly disagree with one of his host’s points when Schulz expressed disappointment that, despite being sidelined by the establishment, Sanders continued to back Democratic nominees like Hillary Clinton in 2016 and Kamala Harris in 2024.

I honestly think it will sell a lot because most gamers won’t be able to control themselves.

Republicans aren’t giving aid to red as shit counties so unfortunately a blue county isn’t going get anything unfortunately and knowing Republicans, they’ll try to charge them for just reaching out.

Once again proving Republicans are Fuuuucking stupid.

Yeah, just like when the idiots in Missouri voted against Right to Work and elected Republicans to the state government and lo and behold, the newly minted Republicans attempted to pass Right to Work.

They are not smart people.

Sigh. They’re really trying to turn into the villain this generation aren’t they?

Just a big ol’ WTF is wrong with society.

They’re back and are independent.

Also arrested was Ashley Spring, a Worcester School Committee candidate and local resident, who police say pushed officers and threw an “unknown liquid” on them.

At least someone in the group stood up to them. If there’s a go fund me I’ll definitely donate.

Never say never in the US at least and never give these assholes corporations an inch they will screw you every chance they can and it will cost the consumer money and time in the end with these shenanigans.

Shit man, don’t ruin the deal!

Oh there’s a small minority of them and I’m sure they’ll be on Facebook complaining about how unfair it is and how they’re not hurting the right people.

They do tend to be whiney people after all

Heard the same crap when they moved from 60 to 70 just a few years back.

Heard how video game development is too expensive while publishers posted record profits.

Heard all about how the same 50 dollar game "back in the day"would cost hundreds now, disregarding how gaming was so much more niche back then too.

Heard the same crap about how these “full price games” would lessen the need for egregious microtransaction

This will again, do nothing to lessen any of that, just push more record profits as gamers won’t be able to resist rewarding the gaming industry for their bad behavior.

Honestly, who the hell cares.

Americans of every race made their choice in 2024 and there’s no point in speculating what the losing party would have done.

The reality is what it is and we’re under Trump now.

As long as those Americans understand what their vote was for and can live with it, that’s what matters and I’m 100% okay with my vote and I can live with it.

Huh, only 25 percent, I would have thought it be around 40.

At any rate, just a reminder to Asian American brethern and other POC, 2A is a right that applies to all Americans and you know that these racist fucks are all over 2A like White on rice.

Dude, your talking to a tankie, just downvote and move on, you’re not going to get any reasonable discussion from them.

Congratulations Australians!
