Yes, because you know what? It is a solution, if everyone does it. If they started releasing games at $80, and everyone just said "Nope, sorry!" and refused to pay it, that practice would stop really fast. I have a huge game backlog, and there's tons of great indie games with $10-$25 price tags that won't be subject to this bullshit.
What's your plan to discourage this practice, complain about it on Lemmy and then buy the games anyway? I'm sure that'll be madly successful.
You're literally contradicting the original comment you were agreeing with now. lol
I can't control what anyone else does, but I can control what I do, and I'm right there with the post I'm agreeing with: I'll wait for a sale, and if that sale never comes, I won't buy it. There's no disagreement or contradiction there.
The original comment was in favor of paying such prices, defending the practice.
If you think that's in favor of paying such prices, and defending the practice, I don't even know what to say.
It's very apparent for this entire comment chain that you don't know what you're saying. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
