    Governments shouldn’t tell companies what value their products have. Consumers should simply not buy the product if they dont consider it a fair value.

      Does that work?

      Think long and hard about your answer. Does that, in fact, have the effect you insist it must? Or are there abundant counterexamples, where greedy horseshit makes bank for negligible value?

        Yes, it works. Source: Me, I don’t consider WoW’s costs to be a fair value for my time and interests, and have not bought their products or services.

        It was really tough, though. I had to really fight my credit card who was just begging to be spent on WoW. But I pulled through.

          Oh good, the protagonist of reality didn’t fall for it, so systemic issues aren’t real.

          What a load… off my mind.
