    Counterpoint:

    You, and everyone else, should be making enough money right now that a $70 price tag isn’t a problem.

    Wage stagnation makes price increases seem worse than than they should be. Truth is we should all be making enough that a few bucks increase in the price of Netflix or YouTube shouldn’t be something we struggle with.

    So by all means, pile it on at EA, but save some of it for your employer too

      I get your point. It’s absolutely crazy that people don’t srike en masse for better conditions but then you got people thinking fuck you I got mine.

      But I also think that while this is true: EA still is pretty much the worst and needs to be disbanded for controlling large parts of the market and extortionist marketing techniques.
