Message: [QUOTE="Android 18, post: 190349, member: 166776"] Given that there are people buying groceries with predatory Buy Now/Pay Later credit, let alone 'luxury' hobbies like gaming, companies like Microsoft are evidently aware that the good times are going to be coming to an end a lot sooner than the average person is likely aware. Shit's fucked and it isn't going to get better! They're very aware that most people simply do not have the money for bulk purchases like these, unless they are whales who are wholly dedicated to their product - they're raising their prices in part because they're trying to squeeze as much out of the BNPL market before the tariffs cause shipping meltdowns for all products in less than a couple of months. This a price gouge globally in order to support the lowered income coming in from America, while they wait to see if either a) most consumers end up on the crippling BNPL model or b) the global economy craps the bed.
