My point wasn't that you're not allowed to criticize the price, it's that you're trying to decide what the price should be. Do you take the same issue with the pricing of Bayer vs. generic aspirin?
This kinda makes it sound like those that complain about it cant afford it? I believe that most of us could buy them. But its just bad that they want double the amount that the same song costs outside the game. People have to pay double the price while its only single character and can only be listened to when you are in a house in the game. Yes theoretically others can listen to this too but you can also just copy your disk in real life or let friends listen to it too.

We all know that as a business, SE will take it as far as they could. Sadly with digital goods that dont cost them anything next to the initial cost, you need only a small percentage of the playerbase to make it profitable. So we might not change much because they only need a few people but we still can complain about it. If we dont, they will truly believe we are fine with that.

In the end those that complain are mostly concerned for the future and about this game. First this shop was only for old events and account stuff and yet over time more exclusive things have been put into this. Now even music and items that could have easily been crafted ingame. Honestly its quite telling when you see new datamined items and people are often saying that this just might land in the cash shop. Who knows how far they will go, and maybe even those that dislike it will have their line crossed somewhere.
