    I’d hope that that happens but in my experience a lot of people just bitch about stuff being more expensive while spending money on it anyway (I’ve done this before as well). And that sends a wrong signal because then others start doing it too. Just look at all the major streaming platforms and their account sharing crackdowns. So many people crying about it and the end result was still record profits for those companies.

      You’re annoyingly right.

      I’ve been careful to stick true to my bitching though. I’ve cut all but one streaming service and supplemented with piracy.

      I’ve had a switch since the pandemic and my kids love it, but if I have to move systems to keep getting new games, we’ll be alright.

      I mean there’s peeps spending thousands on GPUs that really aren’t worth it. The latest console at tenth of the price doesn’t seem to be something they’d skip out on…
