  1. Re:Too much buying power... on Wal-Mart Controls Modern Game Design? · · Score: 1

    that is eqivilant to saying, "if you don't want the tidal wave to wipe out your beach home, go to the house down the beachline" wal-mart is hugely influencial. its busines relations can make or break entire companies. its advertising power can even change what we like and give value. people are more interested in gettting a bargain than getting a quality item these days. Wal-Mart undercuts the value of EVERYTHING they sell so they can sell it to the latest sap who thinks they are getting a bargain. the part where they sucker you comes when you buy into the temptation to purchase a lot of bargain items. before you know it, you have spent 100 dollars on about 20 $5 bargain items you didn't really need, but you thought you did. the most insidious part of this endeavor is people don't realize they are being ripped off.
