you're also being a condescending fuckstick. you jump from one topic to another, and when people prove you wrong you backpeddle and say "well maybe it's cheaper NOW, but EVERYTHING IS STILL TOO EXPENSIVE"
it sounds like you're on the outside looking in on this situation (ie, you have never REALLY lived on your own and never REALLY had to pay for anything with the sole intent of having to be 100% independent and survive on your own). no, college loan money/financial aid doesn't count as paying for something yourself.
as someone who has been in a shitty situation and is now financially comfortable to enjoy pretty much anything I want (within reason), it sounds as if you just have a lot of growing up to do. not the fake kind of growing up that you think you did when your college professors ingrained their thinking into your brain, but the kind of growing up that can only come from having your back to a fucking wall and having to make huge sacrifices just to survive.
tldr; if you disagree with the price of a videogame do not buy it. it is a videogame. it is not a necessity. bitching about it will not change the mind of the executive (and that you know enough to name executives in the video game industry that aren't the big obvious ones ie miyamoto/wada/nomura/meier etc, shows you have way too much time on your hands and take this RECREATIONAL HOBBY too seriously.
wtldr; stop posting
