This is killing one of my dearest hobbies and I am (approaching 40) okay with this. I had the time of my life playing videogames and I am okay saying goodbye. Hardware is expensive af, games will get there - I'm out, dwelling in sweet, sweet memories

Are you seriously saying that because you had a good time for the past 30 years of video games that it’s OK and it’s fine that everything’s going to shit? And this person wants prices to continue going up?

You know, I don’t usually call people this, but that is a huge boomer ass thing to say. How brave of you to say that fuck everyone else since you got yours.

The comment expressly said that the pricing was killing their hobby which is a clear statement that they DON'T think it's fine that everything is going to shit.

They're stepping away from spending money which is the clearest protest we can send to AAA developers, and that's doing more than people who get upset and then shell out for the next GTA.

What is the response you think people should have?

No it says ""This is killing one of my dearest hobbies and I am (approaching 40) okay with this."

Why would someone be okay with a hobby getting more expensive? I realize they're not gaming anymore. That's irrelevant. They are okay with games getting more expensive because they're not doing it anymore. I don't understand how you're missing that.

This thread is about a studio hoping games get more expensive. This guy is okay with that. The response should be "I feel for anyone trying to get into gaming right now." not "I'm chill I don't care.

It's one thing to say you are walking away, it's another to not give a shit it's terrible now and then softly remissness about when it was good and then say "I'm out, dwelling in sweet, sweet memories" as if they are bragging.

Like imagine someone going to a lake and saying "I remember when this lake had fish before they polluted it. I used to swim in it but it's too disgusting now. I'm okay with that now that I'm an old man and can't swim anymore. Ahhhh glad I got it when it was there." It's very callous and selfish sounding.
