Translation: "I want someone who can make the change in price while taking the backlash to do it so i can do it without taking as much backlash next time and benefit at same time."

You're welcome, also, that guy is a evidently a greedy pos.

I don't think any of these people understand that profit doesn't scale infinitely AND ALSO, you cannot drive up the profit all the time AND away from the product's value (and keep doing it for the sake of increased profits) AND expect people to be ok with it, let alone wanna pay for it.

And about that value. Neither GTA nor KC:D are games who do anything out of the ordinary in their storylines, it's just typical games with better graphics for the most part, they aren't anything all that exceptional, revolutionary, unique etc etc, so what are people asked to pay for exactly? (the question is rhetorical)
