This thread went from not wanting to spend 10 bucks to denying the armenian genocide within 40 posts. Impressive.

Thatās how threads go usually. If people bring politics into arguments it will never finish where it started neither will it find a solution. Thats why is called politics
How he went from rejecting the notion of Inflation to Genocide is beyond me.

Itās called inflation. Prices on everything have and are still going up.
You wonder that? Like I said you are either on alcohol or crack early morning. We are talking about comparison between SL and DF and you guys going back 10 years, and even bringing history of US inflation here.
Like I said seek help do something about your life. For you this prices is only $ 10 for me its $40
America should become isolationist again. We invented wow and the internet it runs on.
Our game would be in fine shape and the rest of the world could eat each other up. Anyone stupid enough to attack us gets annihilated.
Globalization destroyed us. If thereās one thing we Americans are good at is making weapons.
I didnāt talk about 10 years ago a single time. Quote me I dare you.
I said the prices of the expansion went up due to inflation and provided you with objective data that you called unreliable even though it was directly pulled from the Bureau of Labor and Statistics.
You claimed prices went up during the peak of the pandemic. You were objectively wrong.

Compared to shadowlands looking at my transaction history it looks like thisā¦
- BFA CA$63.00
- Shadowlands Base Edition CA$54.99
- Shadowlands Heroic Upgrade CA$25.00
- Shadowlands Epic Upgrade CA$25.00
- Dragonflight Base Edition CA$54.99
- Dragonflight Epic Upgrade CA$60.00
For me pricing has been getting better since the local currency update they did before BFA when buying the base edition. Upgrading from base to epic edition has went up $10 from Shadowlands to Dragonflight for me.
This is still way cheaper than what it used to be for me so Iām okay with this for now.
same reason kfc cuts their thigh pieces in 2 and calls it a 2 piece for same price
I paid 70 for both so I am unsure ur math
I mean they did go up in price. Thatās not fake news.
Really video games are one of those weird things that itās pretty shocking the box prices have basically stayed the same throughout my gaming history. I was paying $40-$60 for AAA games fifteen years ago and I still am today, even though thereās no way production costs have stayed the same?
I remember the outrage when games went from $49.99 to $59.99.
It was strange too, it was like almost overnight all games jumped up by $10. As if all developers came together in a massive meeting and said, letās raise the price by $10.
Iām surprised it took so long to go from $59.99 to $69.99. Itās been over 20 years since the last hike.

Now they have increased revenue by selling battle passes, store puchases, and DLCs.
The overall price of gaming has gone up, but the box prices have stayed relatively the same.
Blizzard should keep their box prices down and increase the monthly sub.
That will make everything better, amirite?!
Well yes thatās a fair point for ālive serviceā games, but there are plenty of wellā¦ severalā¦ games that are still $60 without any of that, too.
That is certainly a factor in why box prices have remained āstableā for so long for many games. But unlike other games, WoW doesnāt lock you out of content if you donāt buy a battle pass or DLC. Unless you want to count expansions as DLCs I guess.
In any case. Completely optional stuff bought by many people has helped others to not pay more over the years. Didnāt expect that to last forever though. And Iād rather they up the box price than increasing the sub cost or adding more micro transactions.

Because the only way we Americans know how to solve problems is by throwing money at something and then complain when it fails.
