Ask him how he plans to stay “manly” when he’s unemployed

Not all teenagers think rationally. Depending on how “rebellious” this one is, they may not care to consider such a thing as it’s a “future me” problem.

Probably better to ask him how he’ll handle his peers and potential crushes actively avoiding him because of how bad he smells. Teens usually care more about peer approval than anything else.

They should also compare shrinkflation. If a burger price rises by 25% but it’s size shrinks by 10%, the cost is much higher as you’re paying more for less.

I already hate that style of door but the knobs make it even worse

Should’ve sold some copies of the Christmas Star Wars episode

Oh 100% that’s what they meant. It’s just something that caught my attention as it almost appears to be an oxymoron.

In practice, “microtransaction” can mean many things. A small price, a purchase of non-unique content, or even a small quantity of unique (non-base) content. So yes, upgrading to the “deluxe” edition can fall under that description. But calling the “deluxe” content upgrade a “micro-transaction” almost appears contradictory. So I had a little chuckle while pondering this before becoming upset at how broad (and expensive) said “micro”transactions have become.

deluxe edition as a MTX

I spent a few minutes analyzing this sentence alone. Admittedly I read the rest of your argument and respect your opinion. It’s just that this is stuck in my head.

Buying the deluxe edition through a micro-transaction? My mind wants to classify this as an oxymoron. Admittedly a lot of microtransactions aren’t really micro by any stretch of the imagination but this just stands out.
