!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.

Our Rules:

1. Keep it civil.

Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.

2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.

I should not need to explain this one.

3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.

4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.

Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

Profit driven companies do not change because of cost. Those are completely separate things.

It's not "Oh, our cost went up. Better raise prices." It's "How can we raise prices to increase profits while not losing market share?"

Yep, never heard of JetBlue removing seats from their planes due to fuel costs. Or Google killing tons of products due to non-profitability. Or any of the other countless stories of companies pivoting due to increasing costs.

See: just about every big company in 2008 or 2020.

It's not solely "let's increase profits while not losing market share". It's literally BOTH of what we are saying.

I think you're still confusing cost with profit.
