    instead of saying 5 so more people buy it? Sure maybe 100 people buy it for 18 but what about 10000 buying it for 5 dollars? 18 dollars for a glam needs to be account wide. It does not cost them a thing to adjust the price to make it appealing to more people, how do you have a "shortage" of supply on digital content?

    One glance at the Mogstation trend and it clearly shows more than enough people accept the prices, whether grudgingly or otherwise. Someone did an estimation on Sleipnir a while back. It sold over $650,000. Dare I even wonder how much the Eastern Garb attire given the sheer amount of people who have it. More than enough people just don't care, thus the items are valued where they are.

    I know that, and I am making a stance not to be part of the problem. Also I really think they would make more money from getting more sales if things are cheaper. How come this never seem to cross their mind?

    I know that, but why cater to those that can pay obscene prices? They are only hurting themselves in the long run. If someone is buying something but the high price leaves a bad taste in their mouth, you are going to be losing a customer eventually. These high prices are self destructive in the long term, like the video points out later. Also where is the research? Why not find out what the happy medium is? If something is cheaper more people are going to buy it, so why focus on a few large sales and not a large amount of sales at a lower price?
