>>9478089>dude just make more lolThis is such a boomerbrain take on the whole situation. The reason scalpers are a problem is that they skew the number for what audience there is for products. Its slightly more reasonable for consoles that have a longer lifespan, but those are subject to the availability of materials, which became a huge problem for tech in the pandemic. Then there's the it makes it hard to decide how many copies of a game to make when a company doesn't know how many consoles are actually being played and how many are rotting in a garage.
With toys its another can of worms. Remember that flood of bumblebees around 2009-2011? that was because the modern camaro Bumblebee was so scalped for the first Transformers movie they made more to keep up with what they thought was demand for later toylines. But very quickly it ended up being that they'd sit for years. And that might be worse for a company that not having much to sell, because a product sitting means they're not ordering as much new project, which throws a monkey wrench in future plans.
