Hobbies and things destroyed by the rich

[Langoblian]

Historically, retro gaming was about getting to experience quality content at a discount price and keeping the kids entertained for a fraction of what a modern game would cost, effectively being what most families could afford to invest in without selling the farm -- the age of crazed collectors utterly destroyed that by forcing everything to go up in price.

How in the world is it fair that a guy driving a Jaguar earned by getting unreasonably (and falsely) mad at a videogame can effectively block a young gamer from experiencing the utter sorcery that it was the NES without putting down hundreds of $ for it? It's not only stupid, but it shatters valuable things like bonding with their parents over shared experiences and that? That's unforgivable. No wonder most kids are stuck on the mobile gaming ecosystem.

Memes, Video Essays, and Let's Players can sometimes eternally screw over the price point of an older game or console up to the point where it becomes unreasonable. I never wanna blame the people who want to bring attention to the games, just the resellers who see it as an opportunity to raise their prices to unimaginable heights. There was no reason why Piglet's Big Game for the PS2 needed to be raised to triple digits last year.

What makes you think we won't survive till 2030? Humanity endured all sorts of crap and it won't end now really....the population is growing not decreasing.



>mentions the bourgeois
>oh shit guys keep it apolitical

Seriously?

Nukes or WW3 will end us before 2030 because of human greed. People fight over

Wow you are optimistic that you think we will survive that long.
But I try to keep it politic free here so please focus on Hobbies or well other Stuff like Housing prices or this thread will get closed.

Well 2030 is the longest we will last. And no it was nothing political is was a statement that we will all be dead soon so why worry about our hobbies being destroyed.

Man why do people think world ending scenarios is politics ??? It´s a fact how fucked up humans are.

I had to think of Metal Jesus with his hidden gems videos sure its nice to bring attention to some more obscure and underrated games but well sellers also watch those videos and well the increase the prices afterwards.

I'd also add professional sports, eg soccer. Prices are exorbitant if you want to attend weekly.

But this was done intentionally, eg in Britain, in order to prevent working class hooligans from entering the stadium and causing havoc, especially after Heysel.

It has not stamped hooliganism by any means, it just moved it and relegated it outside the main stadiums or in smaller and cheaper leagues or to national team competitions.

WWE for sure i used to be a regular attendee at events now you'd need to sell all you have to get a ticket.

Local football here isnt too bad but it hardly gets a crowd but definitely premier league for sure as used to be in a man united supporters club. easily £500 gone in a weekend.
