Let's ignore the fact wages don't necessarily match inflation or how low incomes are outside global north. There is a reason why Turks only have to pay 20 dollars for even new games because porkies know they'll not buy and wait for crack otherwise.

Inflation shminflation, that presumes they were ever worth $60 to begin with. I hate how libs will lay bare that no same person thinks in the way that the market actually works. As it stands now, the price of anything is largely the result of what people are willing to pay for it, nothing else matters, from $1 lube to $300 dollar Supreme bricks. To say that "some people are not willing to pay $70 for something, when actually, they should be not willing to pay $140 for it" is absolutely insane talk by the facts of how the western system works.
To top if off, he's acting like the comapany didn't set the price at $140 to do us, personally, a solid. They did price point analysis like every other corpo did and realised fewer people would buy it at that price point in a way that would make them less money than if they sold it at $70, this is high school-level economics at play.
