Gamers like to make it sound like $70 is a new thing today for video games. When, I've seen adverts of games back in late 90s and early 90s that were priced $70. It's always been around so I find it ridiculous that so many of them complain that the pricing is too high when, it's been a thing.

Even more dumb is that sales are stupidly frequent so why even bother trying to pay $70 anyways besides FOMO.

The struggle of the intellectual minority.
The fundamental struggle of autonomy against tyranny and those that steal it away.

Sensationalist journalism. This manifests as clickbait headlines, agenda pieces, and other such tactics.

The propaganda regime we live under.
