    I’ve been gaming since 1985 whenI was 2 years old.

    I cannot for the life of me remember a situation where 5 years after a console releases, they RAISE the price. And its not even like “New PS5 pro edition + knuckles”.

    This is just “It’s the PS5. Pay us more money, assholes! Same shit as before. Now with more cost! Kiss the taint, peasants!”

      Nintendo did it and their fans still spent like crazy. Gamers have themselves to blame for this. Well that and the ever present corporate greed.
