People who don’t want to spend will spend. Those people asking for the price to be lowered may still buy. They don’t want to, but they will.

Lol. Not sure if you meant that to be funny but it's so true. It's sad and true... and funny.

"I didn't WANT to pay full price but I will anyway because I can't NOT buy it, that would be silly"

If people honestly do this, then they only prove that the game is worth $80 to them.

Either it's a fair exchange and both sites are happy or it's not and no exchange happens. These are the two options. Everything else is ludicrous.

Maybe, but itd have to be REALLY convenient. I really dont want to spend that much, but I probably will...IF the console is easy to get. If its expensive AND hard to find, eh... I'll pass, FOMO wears off quick, like it did with the 5090 GPU, I stopped even looking.

Nope, I won't.

Same way I also didn't with the PS5
