Re: Digital Foundry Tech Review Shows Just How Far The Last of Us: Part I Has Come

I'm curious. Do the people who are complaining about the price of this remaster also go into their local bakeries and complain about the price of a loaf of bread? To me the logic is the same. This loaf of bread contains the same ingredients in the same amounts made by the same people using the same expertise as the loaf I bought yesterday and the day before and the day before and the day before. Would they demand the bread be sold to them at a cheaper price because they were a regular? Would they complain that the cost of a loaf of bread has increased by 15% because the cost of flour, salt and yeast (not to mention associated transportation costs) increased constantly over the years but the bakery waited until they could wait no longer to raise the price? Would they make an argument that the population of their city increased over time so more people must be consuming more bread and this should cancel out the need to raise the price and the bakery is only doing it out of greed and it's no way reflective of the increased amount of labor (which now commands higher wages as they also have to contend with inflation) to meet the increased demand and increased expectations of quality which comes with increased competition due to the increase in consumers? Would they launch public attacks on the owners of the bakery and demand an apology because the owners of the bakery had the temerity to adjust the recipe or to promote gluten-free alternatives? I don't think any level-headed consumers would do such things but it goes without saying that many people who identify as gamers are not level-headed and probably have a great deal of difficulty navigating the real world.

If you think my logic sounds ridiculous, I'd suggest looking in the mirror.
