In case anyone actually wants to know a couple of reasons

A) It's not fair that some people pay and some don't. (Of course it's also not fair that some can afford $70 on a video game and some struggle to buy food)

B) If everyone would pay then we'd all only have to pay $50 each, lowering the price for those that are paying $70 at the moment. (Whether developers would lower prices or just make more money is another question)

They'll literally never lower prices. Look at what prices for everything are right now. Their excuse was that covid was driving up prices, now that covid is over they realized they could charge more so here we are.
