Reading all the comments defending a $70 game with zero day DLC is just bewildering. I mean, HOW MUCH of a fucking cuck do you have to be to not only accept it, but to DEFEND it? You people deserve all the shit you get for being peasants. The rest of us sail the high seas, YARR!
How much of a toddler do you have to be to not understand that video games were 50-60 dollar for decades? Also, can you give a single example of something that costs $70 but can entertain you for 500 hours? I don't believe that's a thing outside a good video game.
All kinds of sports equipment falls in that price range and can entertain you just as long, if not longer
True I guess. I guess I should have added the caveat "takes large teams of people years to design and build". Given that most sports equipment has changed slowly enough it doesn't take 500 people 5 years to make, it's not quite comparable. Another creative work would be, such as movies, which easily are far far more expensive for the number of hours of enjoyment experienced
Sports equipment is not entertaining. Don't pretend otherwise.
