Quoted from ovfdfireman:

We are in an era of spending, full of people whom have mostly NEVER actually experienced tough times, and not afraid to spend what they have and even go in to debt because “I want it, and deserve it” a generation that was mostly given “Prizes” for behaving as they are supposed to. Ice cream because they are “sad” and gifts to say “I love you” a generation of material items. The size of diamond says how much you love your wife right? They will spend “whatever” it doesn’t matter because I want it.
We live in a time where a brand such as “Supreme” even exists…..Rolex’s are sold out with a 5 year wait, $30,000 Polaris Rangers, and $90,000 Ford Broncos, $120,000 Corvettes all being sold at 20% over retail because “I want one now”…..Lambos and Ferraris driving past…..as if a $7000 pinball is even a thing. Reality is people can complain about delays or high prices on any of these items, yet it just keeps going up and will until people stop paying the prices… since many games are sold out into 2022-2023 it won’t stop anytime soon. If you want a sold out game you will have to do 1 of 3 things
1. Wait patiently
2. Don’t buy it
3. spend enough to get someone to let it go.
Or just complain on the forums “it’s not fair” and go buy yourself some ice cream
It’s a crazy world and as long as stupid money exists, Inflation will continue, but the reckless spending will have to end at some point, and that may not be until inflation takes excess money down to normal levels.
