For those who say "Gaming is an expensive hobby...get used to it."

Please explain your side of the story.FIRST: I'm not saying I'm against fair pricing. BUT, for example, lets say company A wants to sella DLC of different car colors for $15. Or something that 1) should have been in the game, and 2) is priced high for what it is to begin with.Lets just say for arguments sake you know the situation I'm talking about. There are those who say it's just the way it is. Then there are those who find holes in the common sense of that.I find those that say 'Get used to it....developers deserve every penny!!'a little out of touch.So I have one comment on this and then read some of the discussion: Do those, who are for high prices, think that those developers and publishers would help you out in a time of need? If you got fired, lost your home, counldn't afford to eat.......do you think they would help you out? They don't care.Remember I'm talking about instances where the pricing is stupid. Not, Bungie who I hear listens to their community, then puts a game on the market for retail. I'm talking about those companies that seem to nickle and dime you to death at every possible opportunity.Before posting, please keep the last thing I said in mind.

The charge $15 per DLC because people will buy it. If people stop buying it, they will stop selling it, it's that simple.

I'm pretty sure the devs get paid whatever their paid and not to how well their product sells. It's just a mental thing. I'd rather wait for price drops in games because gaming is too expensive for me. But that is my business. Paying as little as I can and getting what I want. The exact opposite of what the "devs" do.
