I mean they were out of stock for weeks, presumably waiting on manufacturing new devices, which are now more expensive than when they were first released, it’s not like they were sitting on a ton in a warehouse or something.
Depends…does the bookmaker have a superyacht? Are they a billionaire? Could they take less profit because they are not a public company? Could they raise the price by less and still be profitable?
Hmmm, my guess is that Valve is trying to keep onto their funds rather than sell at loss because they’re afraid of the lawsuits levied by other corpos, which are being weaponized against them.
Well yes of course they could but why should they? I also think it’s hilarious that people acknowledge that we live in a capitalist society, and then get upset when the realities of that society hit them.
If you want to go seize the means of production I won’t stop you, but otherwise stop whining about increasing production costs been passed on to the user.
It’s a fairly common sentiment that ‘good billionaires’ like Newell will demonstrate that seeking profit by making things people want to buy is more profitable than ruining things people were already buying so margins are higher, thereby making the bad billionaires want to copy them, and then capitalism will start working for the common people, and that therefore seizing the means of production is unnecessary as long as they praise gaben. Pointing out that he’s still accumulating the value of other people’s labour as quickly as he can and he’s just less short-sighted about it, rather than aiming to do good, can be helpful.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts
