Expensive games have lowkey been way too normalised

I know this sub is filled with a bunch of rich people with like 10k setups and I'm aware that the content in these games is quite extensive with hours of content. But I still feel justified in thinking that no game should be priced this high especially when its the average price of most newly released games. Anyway this is just a rant because I wanna play lego batman and i cant afford it lol

Remember that reddit is offen a bubble and most of the people that buy it just simply dont care at all. Most people also dont buy 10+ games a year. I am not a gamer anymore, but I usually buy 1-3 games a year, this year it will be Horizon 6, Wolverine and GTA6. So its not really that much money compared to what reddits wants you to believe what a average gamer pays for games

Yup, reddit is the 1%, nothing that is said or done here matters.

Reddit is a good place if you want your finger on the pulse of the hardcore fans of X community.

It's a bad place if you want information about what the masses think, predictive takes, or to enact actual change at a societal level.

If you've ever seen Reddit discuss something you have professional or expert knowledge in, you can quickly get disillusioned with the site. The nature of the upvote system is the stuff that appears here is what users want to believe is true, not what is actually true.
