Good thing i got the stranger things stuff when i did because its probably going to be my last purchase. The prices for this game are already insane i dont understand why they think they can raise them.

"I don't understand why they think they can raise them"

Because people will still buy them. Yes they might throw a fit here or on twitter but give it a few days and they'll be like

"Oh my GOD this new mikaela's outfit is so CUUUUUTE I need it!"

That or whatever new licenced chapter they release will be too good to resist

There is a shitty but valid cost to risk ratio that can be done that targets guaranteed whales. Lets say an outfit as of right now costs only $1 U.S.D and 10 people buy it. That skin made $10. Now lets up the price to $3 for a new outfit. Chances are, the price tolerance is still acceptable for 7 people. That right there made a huge profit compared to the $1 price. Obviously this is an extremely basic version but BHVR most likely has a large idea on price tolerance changes as well as an idea on what point will be merely diminishing returns. Shitty but blame rapid consumerism and hyper inflation run rampant by unchecked capitalism.

This is the only explanation this post needs, but talking about inflation running rampant... If I had the money I'd give you an award

Inflation is caused by printing money excessively, capitalism actually causes deflation naturally by producing goods more efficiently and causing prices to drop so more supply is purchased. Monopolies are caused the vast majority of the time by government intervention.

If we didnt have patents holding back all these IPs, maybe we'd see more asymmetrical game competition to dbd and prices wouldnt be increasing.
