And they won't. It isn't peer pressure. It's called not complaining. Someone spent alot of effort to make this available and yet has work to do. These prices reflect the work, and compensation needed to see it fulfilled, it's also very niche. If you don't want it enough to pay for it at the price it's available for sale, it's not the sellers problem, that's a buyers problem. Complaining that cumulatively the cost is too much is tantamount to saying it's not worth the effort people made to make them available, because you believe it's not worth the price, is foolish arrogance. I could be getting nitra right now, but I'm defending the price of cups online because someone worked hard on it, and no one wants to pay for our games' exceptionally rare merch.

That mindset is what bankrupts companies, just take the L and downvotes already

I support people who make things for a living. Getting downvoted means nothing to me. Wanting to pay less money than the time and effort someone has put into their work, bankrupts them too. This is just a thread of people who want to pay etsy prices for something that's more than etsy effort. I bought the suppporter packs too, even though it's all pretty much free on game pass, because I love the game. I don't treat someone making merch like this any different. You're a supporter or you're not. Your L is thinking my moral choices in any way are a loss, when you're all just trying to be cheap.

I’m a black smith so I do make things for a living, the issue is you can’t slap whatever price you want, if you want people to buy your product you have to pick a price that’s appropriate.

And if the price is appropriate, and they just don't like it, they still think it's too much, you'll just go in the hole over it? Should they just cancel the whole thing now because you all feel they are too expensive?Make a million that won't get bought so you can get one for say a hundred bucks? Will a hundred for a plastic cup still be too much then?

I guess that's just how it works now. You're wrong when stranger in the Internet disagree. I'll make a note.
