I heard from someone there that this is just the pricing system’s standard reaction to a big demand/supply gap, which means that they have automated scanning I guess.

I had this same idea when I was 8 but with disposable dishes and my mom immediately explained how loving stupid it was.

The store in that game is so exploitative. If you don't buy things you are actively made to feel like a piece of poo poo in game.

Folding Ideas made a very good video about it.

surely its around the corner and they'll sell the idea as a gimmick: its so immersive! every decision matters so much

well this game sucks and its way too hard to kill yourself. controls won't even let me walk off a ledge. my character keeps stopping at the edge and sobbing like a bitch, calling himself a coward and poo poo.

That's not really new. When Team Fortress 2 was a big thing you'd hear kids on the mic make fun of "gibusses" which is a term for people with a simple top hat called "the ghastly gibus" that confirmed you were poor or so new you hadn't bought a hat yet.

When Team Fortress 2 was a big thing, hats weren’t.

That whole "detaining the terrorists and quasi terrorists till their death in a military hole" thing is really only a moral issue in European countries, such as UK. Most Americans from left and right are aware of this and don't have a problem with it.

That's probably what Pentagon will do anyway but they will make a PR office to put up a powerpoint sliceshow to show they are doing something to the senior terrorists.
