    there’s genuinely a lot of sales in third world countries for people that consider resale value essential and/or have bad internet connection. fuck them i guess?? small markets dominated by PC and console piracy are not profitable i suppose but it still seems especially short sighted.

      This, like many other things, is likely driven by like 50% of all economic activity coming from 10% of the population. You no longer need to bother marketing to the poor, because they have no money. So instead just jack prices and sell only to that 10% who have all the money.
