The Selective Price Sensitivity Of Gamers

When Nintendo announces a €459.99 Switch 2? Meh, too expensive. But slap a Steam logo on a handheld gaming PC for €419? Take my money immediately! The classic "I hate your overpriced product but will happily buy this slightly less expensive alternative that does basically the same thing but feels more justified because I can also use it to pretend I'll do actual work on it someday." The Steam Deck: where we convince ourselves we're making a practical purchase while still blowing our rent money on games.

The Browser Extension Vigilantes

Nothing says "entrepreneurial spirit" quite like browser extension devs swooping in to save online shoppers from Amazon's pricing shenanigans. While Amazon tries to hide those sweet, sweet tariff prices, extension developers are out here playing hero - adding the functionality Amazon deliberately "forgot" to include. It's the classic corporate neglect-to-innovation pipeline. Some PM at Amazon is probably fuming that these third-party devs are exposing their "dynamic pricing strategy" (corporate speak for "we charge whatever we think you'll pay"). Meanwhile, extension devs are making bank on ad revenue while doing the Lord's work of price transparency. Modern problems require modern solutions!
