Agreed. We need more people like you, with strong minds, controlling the flow of pricing and realizing our collective buying power, the only real power we have withing this industry, needs to be utilized.

You have stronger principles than most. I respect your stance. If most did what you and I are, then the price would go back to $60 within two too three months at most, imho. They can't sustain the losses and would revert their pricing quicker than you could finish act 1 of BG3.

Please don't buy games at $80. You control the price flow. All they need is 2 to 3 flops and the price goes back to where it was. They have not justified an increase in price and don't deserve it, tbqh. If you relinquish your buying power, the only power you all have, you deserve what is to come in the near future. Grow a pair, show some strength and wait them out. Or... Be another sheep following the herd to their slaughter. You can have your cake and eat it too, wait a couple of months more, get the game at $60 and play the hell out of it indefinitely, or be just another boring average everyday sucker. This price raise is a justification for piracy, imho. For once, be the one teaching a lesson and not the one being taught a lesson. All the best ✌
