Anyone who still thinks Earthbound is rare is an idiot or a speculator trying to sell it.

rarity is a myth, these articles gain value based on hype first and foremost.
I for one welcome our new chin chong overlords and hope they will take pity on me during the uprising of the new world order.
They could make bank if they did something like a pirates of the caribbean cruise ship, because that actually makes sense as a theme?? I'm pretty sure Disney execs are all complete retards at this point. Their business ventures must be decided by playing fucking mad libs.
Speaking of Diablo Immortal, it made over 24 million in 2 weeks with over 8 million downloads.
At this point i would believe he did it intentionally to screw over the company. Blizz already took heat from the great bear of the east before when people used Mei from Overwatch as the symbol for the Hong Kong independent protests and they had to take down any merchandise of her from the online store.
Hey, at least he looks better than Moviebob in his Mario outfit.
Problem is Disney are the biggest bunch of cheapskates in the world, that's why their boss Bob Chapek is called "Cheapek". Someone probably came up with this idea at some point and Cheapek or someone who thinks like him looked at the costs and vetoed it. The mindset at Disney is to churn out schlock and take zero risks and expect people will buy it anyway that you'll make almost as much profit, that's why Cheapek was the one who made all the really bad direct-to-video sequels in the 90s/00s. You can also see that mindset at work in Star Wars Galaxy's Edge where cost is cut at all corners, including the very concept which deliberately minimizes references to pre-Disney Star Wars because that means paying George Lucas more royalties (this is super common in all things Disney Star Wars BTW).
when hipsters touch something its over. Those are the nerds that increase their interest once they see there's validation. They notice news outlets talking about a craze for pohkemanz cards or retro games or comics or a franchise thats being memed on reddit and they flock to it like flies to shit so they can take pictures with the thing and make quotes and self deprecating jokes about how "nerdy" they are.
They should love Christianity more

Some of this phenomena I think isn't too different than how boomers will spend 6 figures on a 50-60 year old car. Boomers are probably doing it because they saw that car a lot growing up and thought it was badass but couldn't afford it until they were retired. In this same way your 30-something consoomer loved Pokemon cards and vidya growing up but until he put in a few years in the Big Tech bug hive he could never afford it. But now that he has a decent apartment and disposable income he can buy all the Pokemon cards and vidya he ever wanted, which is all of them.
Pokemon cards were 3-4 dollars a pack and a lot of the old ones ran cheap till current year scalper-er i mean VALUE EVALUATORS decidedthey were worth thousands and proceeded to hoard both old and new ones and getinto fistfights in walmart over the things tothe point it made national news and they temporarily pulled them from shelves as a result.
