Local Dad Demands Common Sense At Summer Game Fest After Son Spends $400 On 'Overpriced Garbage'
So I just heard about the Summer Game Fest and had to laugh. My 14-year-old spent two hours watching a live stream and then begged me for $400 to buy some "limited edition" digital trash. Common sense, people! When did we decide it's okay to charge $70 for a game that's broken on launch day? These gaming companies are laughing all the way to the bank while parents work overtime. My neighbor's kid saved up for months to buy a "next-gen" console, and now he can't even get the latest title without another $30 season pass. It's a scam, plain and simple. Why are we normalizing this? Put your wallet away and teach your kids the value of a dollar. That's what I call common sense.
