Spike in affordable escapism.
Going to a movie matinee for 3 dollars is not comparable to dropping $$$$Absurdity for games like these assholes want.
Closer to $12 than $3, though. Last time I went to movies, one ticket was ¥1800. And that’s not touching the concession stand.
That said, Baldur’s Gate 3 ran me ¥8500.
20.- CHF for Chinema, 70.- for BG3 over here
Most cinemas in my region charge $12 to $20 per ticket. But, there was one I found in Brisbane with tickets as low as $4. My wife and I would literally go watch movies just to sit in their air con.
Ah yes, BG3, the new gold standard.
Why not. 3 dollars for a couple of hours of entertainment is poor cost efficiency compared with what I’ve got out of some games. Don’t get me wrong, capcom don’t need to raise prices as I’m pretty sure they make plenty of money already, but cinema is not cost effective entertainment compared with a video game.
Can tell you’ve never been poor.
Can tell you’ve been on the Internet too long! Nice rebuttal to a simple explanation of making money go further.
Not only never been poor, but super offended at the mere concept that someone is poor and cant bootstrap magic math their way out of it.
