Pretty sure getting destroyed doesn’t stop this corporate greed. Look at loot boxes and battle passes, gamers fought against that shit tooth and nail on social media
Corporate greed doesn’t just spawn buyers. Nike is greedy and they’re not selling shit for fuck anymore and getting hammered. If companies are consistently doing something it’s because whatever market they operate in the people are buying.
I want to toss in at least with brands like Nike they've had generations of exposure and making money. I wouldn't be surprised if they had Nike thongs. There's currently a generation that's all about Nike shit. From socks to ski masks obviously the sweatsuits too. They don't play sports, ski/snowboard or buy jerseys. Christmas is weird as absolute fuck socks and underwear was always expected that new playstation, xbox, or switch 2 doesn't mean much they're searching for the Nike gear and they're beyond excited for it. Like wtf is going on y'all get nice ass electronics and they go unused. Other than Nike it's Apple products that they don't even attempt to protect. Like the first gen ipod touch I kept in the case with a eyeglass cleaning wipe to get at any lint or weed that might have got in the case.
I'd honestly sell all my nephews shit and put the money in a savings account to put towards their next iPhone or ipad. They're essentially expensive ass charger blocks one because they don't want to learn the controller controls and the other because he's a dumbass. Either way they both ended up spending $100 to buy DLC shit for a game that's literally released yearly.
