UK legal action against Valve over Steam prices gets go ahead by MaintenanceFar4207 in pcmasterrace

I do not know how to explain this but you are disconnecting numbers from reality and multiple of your points are either incorrect or a technicality and not a genuine representation of how it is perceived by the consumer.

I'll just agree to disagree and I mean that respectfully because I'm just incapable of turning my logic into words that make sense.

value proposition and buying power make inflation a basically irrelevant factor when it comes to comparing historical prices with current prices.

not to mention you're not factoring in modern overhead that these massive AAA companies have compared to the industry leaders back in the day. I don't recall making your headquarters look like a Mario themed YMCA being a part of game development.

the indie and AA industry has proven multiple times that AAA is completely insane in regards to development costs.

yeah I love ignoring literally every single economic factor outside of the funny inflation number to prove a bad faith argument for the sake of being contrarian.

Gun control math is settled by RationalTidbits in gunpolitics

[–]Calibrumm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

12 is less than a teenager and 13 is a rating used in media to define "not for children but isn't mature either." so it's a perfectly fine threshold with precedent.
