Online store prices are outrageously high!

I pay $15 a month plus an additional $50 once every two years for this game, or $410 every 2 years. That gives me basically unlimited access (except for maintenance downtime).

The average household currently pays about $200 a month for cable TV access, or $4800 for 2 years of unlimited access. That's over $4300 dollars more.

Or I could go to a cinema to watch a 2 hour movie each day and pay over $7000 dollars in those 2 years.

I'm not going to complain too much about paying the extra $20 or whatever on occasion when it's still a lot less than I'd be paying for entertainment elsewhere. I'm definitely getting my money's worth and it's usually not hard to shift my budget around a little bit to squeeze that in.

If you don't like the prices they're asking, don't buy. You don't need anything that's on Mogstation to play the game. Those items only represent additional luxury options to further customize your game experience. There are plenty of customization options that come free with the game to use if you're not willing to pay more for the luxury options.

I feel like we need to keep this for every ime this ridiculous thread pops up. Well said.
