Unless it was a hugely popular community with years and years of content posted to it, not just text but videos and photos etc, the server space some text posts and usernames take up is a rounding error.

Why would they?

The prices increase with inflation and costs. They’re not getting cheaper to make, which means that they have to increase the price to match inflation.

Nah, it’s never going back to how it was, even when RAM prices normalise. Why? Node shrinks. They just don’t happen anymore. That was the main reason why price drops could happen previously. As it stands there’s no shrinking left to do, so no massive price drops.

Yeh the downvotes are weird to say the least. So the downvoters think that poor people can afford the PS6 at the >$1000 it’s going to be? Or a PS5 at a price higher than it launched at? Isn’t the PS5 like USD$650 now? What poor person can afford that and $80 games?

The poorest people won’t ever be getting a PS6 so that’s kinda irrelevant. It’s not like the PS2 days where after 3 years the console was 20% of its launch price. Those days are long gone.

Poor people could afford to get a game console back in those days, just a few years behind launch. Now the PS5 is hundreds of dollars more than it was at launch 5 years ago. Early adopters getting the cheapest price for a console was not on my bingo list but that’s where this hobby is at now.

You sound like an unhinged crazy person, so no, you’re not good lol.

It’s 2026 and there are still people scared out of their mind of catching Covid? 🤣

I bet OP has had Covid multiple times already without even realising it. That’s how much of a nothing it is.
