@IanDSmith The prices are them, but they're because they can do it. We refuse to put our collective foot down. We can always say "too much! I won't buy that!" But as long as we keep buying it, they can keep raising it.Which goes to all the things. We can actively choose not to go along with those things. Every step of the way we, as a whole, have chosen not to stop it from going the direction it went. Sometimes people went on tirades "if you stop buying physical media it will disappear and you'll have problems accessing the content you paid for." People brushed them aside.Yes they get half the blame here, but only half...And we, as a whole, can still reverse all this if we ever actually want to, but we have to want to as a whole. And we don't.
