Competition for entertainment is higher than ever. You even have extremely good free games

An upward increase makes sense only because corporations will try to squeeze every possible cent from consumer. That’s the only justification that they need

Games don’t cost 90$ today for other platforms tho… even Nintendo that are a few years old still cost basically the same as at launch

No, I disagree. If things are really fucked (as they are) 30% of a population is more than enough to enact change. If they are really motivated to do so. Get most of those 30% only the street and you see what power it has.

Of course with 80/90% it’s easier. Much much easier but that’s just fantasy land. You can get 90% of the population to agree on many basic facts, so you can forget about having then agree to protest together.

Plenty of revolutions were made, and dictatorships overturned with much fewer people on board.

I very much disagree on how much power 30% of the population has. Yes the electoral system you have in the USA is beyond stupid. However voting is only the easiest and most polite way to make change.

Go on strike, protest, build some guillotines. If the population really wants it, change will be made, even if it’s only 15/30%. Because the remainder of that population will not opposite necessarily. They just don’t care enough to protest.

Luigi Mangione is just 1 person for example.

That’s just wrong

Put 20/30% of the population of any city or county out on the streets and it will make headlines

It’s technically a loud minority but a very loud and significant minority

The problem is that of those 20/30% only 10% will actually get out on the streets so you are left with around 2% of the general population. And that ain’t much
