PlayStation introduces exclusive pricing.

[Fatboi1]

I'ma quote what the person you quoted said directly


Soy stans

That LITERALLY is the point that is being made, the game WASN'T $26.99 as the base price and then got BUMPED to $29.99 for some users due to the supposed dynamic pricing as the shill you posted implied. The game is $29.99 everywhere(PS4 premium version), there is no price HIKE that's only on Playstation.





Are you retarded?

And yes I'm a "Soy" stan as well. Very beneficial for your health but I guess your "sources" think it's a woke food ?

Again you counter a theory with another persons theory. While trying to present it as facts.

You can keep typing in circles though

Yeah you're retarded. It's no point in explaining. You literally can't even understand what's being said to you. I seriously wonder how you function in real life. Idk why I bother engaging you and Meach. I think I'm clocking out on engaging your concern trolling/bait posts/threads.

 

[CoolinInTheCut]

Sony Stans pick the dumbest hills to die on

Like God damn how hard is it to say Sony was wrong for this

 

[Fatboi1]

Yeah, "sOnY sTaNS!" amirite? Dumbass Xbots Dudes dumber than a bag of dead batteries.

I don't claim to control the sale. I proclaim to control myself. In sales, what isn't psychological manipulation. Advertisement in itself is that. As is FOMO and word of mouth. That's their gotdamn job, lol! Just make my purchase worthwhile with value and content. If I want to purchase it, I'll buy it at what I find it to be worth. And if I don't, I won't.

This is why gamers stay getting their pockets ran then complain bout the enshytification of the gaming industry. Once the value stops being worthwhile you'll already be conditioned to expect less. There's a whole generation of gamers that is coming up believing shytty broken games on release paying $60+ for them and just waiting for a patch is fine. 10 years ago that would've been unthinkable. If the price fluctuates for you and someone else somebody is getting gouged. It is unethical. So again why defend this?

Are you and El oh El boy the same nikka or something? Using that garbage ass word.

And No. I don't go about complaining about the game industry as I don't even complain about it to this day since I don't play the game of entitlement and selective outrage like most of this goofy ass kids do, nor do I fall for the click bait that proceeds and incorporates that faux and misdirected anger. I already stated the most sensible sentiment of how this works and where it would be wrong versus when it isn't. If ya'll want to keep reaching for stan points and shyt, go off.

 

[spliz]

You think you're in control in the situation though when you're not. This is psychological manipulation tactics to get you to spend more money. It's bad overall. Why are you downplaying this? It's shady and unfair

This is literally marketing 101. lol.

 

[cyndaquil]

This is literally marketing 101. lol.

Yeah no shyt. And that doesn't make it right. Stop dikk riding capitalism. If companies want more money provide better value not try to manipulate people into thinking something is better than it is. It's ok to call out shytty marketing tactics as predatory.

Exactly so when companies treat you whatever kinda way you'll just take it. It's not entitlement to ask for ethical practices from these mutltibillion dollar corporations. It has nothing to do with stan points and instead asking people to be mindful consumers. They do this same shyt on instacart but the difference is you can go into the physical store itself and purchase the product for the actual price. Video games are a digital medium. In the future they will remove physical games completely, it's only a matter of time. Then when they are gouging the fukk outta you even more what will you say? The only reason they get away with this stuff is because video games are a want not a need and gamers by and large just consume whatever. Once again I'll ask why is it not ok to call this shyt out? And I've had every Playstation since ps1. So this isn't just stan wars shyt.

I’m not dikkriding anything I’m calling it what it is. I don’t care about any of this shyt my guy. lol. I been gaming on every console since the late 80s. I’m one of the people who feels like games could easily cost more than they do based on inflation. Games were extremely high price in the Super Nintendo/Genesis era.

Nah keep that same energy. It was all fun and games when you tried to hop on and dismiss my question about the ethicality of this with an appeal to normality (normal != ethical). They were higher back then because of hardware and the much smaller player base. Cartridges were expensive to manufacture because of the ROM chips and extra hardware some games used. On top of that the market was much smaller so development costs had to be amortized across far fewer players. That’s why many SNES/N64 games were $60–$80 in the 90s, which is over $100 today adjusted for inflation. Games still make companies money because with digital there is no overhead for manufacturing and shipping with the benefit of the ultra large player base today it keeps prices low with good profit margins. Again why defend this? I still haven't heard an answer to that question. Just admit it's terrible lol

 

[el_oh_el]

I’ve voiced my opinion..but i don’t think that GTAV situation accounts to much. If it was sighted as 32.99 somewhere or the official price dropped to 26.99, then that’d be conclusive proof (and not concern trolling)

 

[el_oh_el]

This is literally marketing 101. lol.

Subtle tricks are far from mass user data-derived psychological techniques we see in use today..

Bro I am keeping the same energy. It's basic marketing 101. I didn't say whether it was right or wrong. Just stated that this happens in every aspect of ur purchasing life. Ur the one who got emotional. I'm keeping it real. I don't really care and I'm not that invested.
