I’d call myself a liberal but not left wing

Source?

Then why bring it up? We’re talking about a system of private housing with a profit incentive

A world in which we all live in project housing is a dark one indeed

$60 in the 1990s would be like $120 today. $80 is cheap by comparison

Idk who the first was, but Ubisoft, Activision, and EA all release $80 games. Plus there were N64 cartridges back in the 90s that cost $70-$80

They’re definitely not the first lol

Software engineers are in oversupply these days

I disagree

I deny that nintendo is being very aggressive with pricing here. Increasing prices once in 30 years is not aggressive at all

You’re sure she didn’t delete it herself due to the attention she was probably getting?

I, for one, think we live in a pretty good world if the thing that drives us to complain on the internet is a modest increase in price for entertainment goods once every 30 years. I’m not going to bemoan capitalism because I have to shell out a few more bucks for Mario Kart; that actual insanity

It’s not like they’re making baby formula here. They’re making videogames. Nobody is entitled to a $60 cartridge

All companies charge the price that consumers will tolerate, that is literally how prices work. Every single thing you spend money on is based on this principle

Well it’s also way more convenient to drive in most places. Public transportation in most American cities doesn’t work well

I think people fear violent death more than they fear accidental death. If american cities want more people to ride public transportation, they need to clean up public transportation. If you’ve been outside of the US you see how countries with far fewer resources than us do a lot more with their public transportation.

They’re cleaner, less noisy, and the police will actually do something about antisocial behavior on the trains. Until we have something like that in thr US, I will avoid taking the bus

Is charging for online play not common anymore? I was paying for Xbox live last time I owned an Xbox in like 2009.

One of these things is not like the other

This is a gross simplification. Public transportation IS full of mentally ill people and the homeless, and lots of women feel unsafe on busses and trains. It’s not the rich who prefer personal vehicle transport; everyone does

This policy is called rent control and it doesn’t work. New York has it and rent is still astronomical. All you would do is eliminate any incentive to build new housing, which is the actual source of the problem
