Recessions also cause a spike in vice and escapism, so it could drive more game sales or at least offset the lack of disposable income.

Spike in affordable escapism.

Going to a movie matinee for 3 dollars is not comparable to dropping $$$$Absurdity for games like these assholes want.

Closer to $12 than $3, though. Last time I went to movies, one ticket was ¥1800. And that’s not touching the concession stand.

That said, Baldur’s Gate 3 ran me ¥8500.

Ah yes, BG3, the new gold standard.
