    I agree bro but it’s never going away and there’s no way to fix it unless manufactures make enough for all the people that want it.

    They do make enough for all the people that want it… guess what’s happening though

    People have better things to do than seek out a PS4 on their twitter timelines.. why is it “stupid” to not have to compete with bots when you want to buy from a normal retailer?

    Doesn’t answer the second half of my post

    Why do people have to be “stupid” or whatever because they can’t easily obtain the product that was made for them through a retailer ?

    If Nike makes 20k pairs of a shoe that a million people want, then what are people supposed to do??

    People are paying way over market value for houses because there’s not enough.

    Buyers are partially to blame for this too. PS5s do not appreciate in value like sneakers or houses. There shouldn’t even be a resale market for them but there simply isn’t enough.

    These aren't Nikes with only 20k and there are enough houses for everybody, so I'm not sure what you're trying to say.

    That example is not what’s happening in either case

    There’s enough housing and PS5’s to meet market demand, but people create an artificial scarcity so they can exploit and advance their own wealth from other peoples needs

    It’s less like your example and more like a company producing a million shoes for a million people, but 100 people buy 10,000 pairs each and sell them to the million at a markup

    Which, morallly, is contradictory to people who consider themselves empathetic and fair. To do such a thing to needlessly advance your own wealth when you could work a productive job is exploitative and evil

    There’s definitely enough housing for everyone. That sounded dumb now that I read it back. Just wanted to point out that people resell houses too.

    I’m not defending scalpers, just don’t think there’s an answer to it unless people stop buying from them. Unfortunately that’s not happening.

    And ps5s would be sold out without scalpers.

  • Feb 4, 2022

    If you still don’t have a PS5 that’s on you. I managed to preorder one when they first released then in like June I got another one for my nephew. Easy to get.

  • Drogon

    A kid gets bullied because their guardian can't get access to a PS5. Kid then gets bullied for the absence of a PS5 and kills itself due to bullies.

    Scalpers are causing all this damage and you got the losers online defending them for it.

    It makes you sick

    People went in on this but “kills itself” is so f***ing funny

    if you can't get a ps5 for retail after a year you're stupid and deserve to have to pay resale

    People say they sell out quick when they become available because of bots and plus there’s a ps5 shortage.
