    Why is it? It’s a video instead of text, and the video doesn’t even have subtitles

      It’s a video instead of text because the person in the video made a video of themselves instead of writing something.

      Because reissues of old games are overpriced.

      The example given is Super Mario Galaxy 1+2 for $100

      I found some articles which quoted release pricing at $70 and questioning that being a reasonable price, so $100 may be beyond the pale.

        Ah, yeah, that makes sense. Especially when Nintendo seems to be creating scarcity by doing limited releases and such.

        Thank you for explaining it! Even OP didn’t want to type it out, lol

        In addition to what others have said, I can read much faster than most people can speak. And I can’t really skim a video that’s a monologue the way I could skim a post.

        Especially when it’s a video that has a point advertised in the post title.

        I unsubbed from the Videos community for a reason! Haha

        People can be hard if hearing or in situations where it would be impolite to blast your audio, like a bus or train
