Why not. 3 dollars for a couple of hours of entertainment is poor cost efficiency compared with what I've got out of some games. Don't get me wrong, capcom don't need to raise prices as I'm pretty sure they make plenty of money already, but cinema is not cost effective entertainment compared with a video game.

Can tell you've never been poor.

Can tell you've been on the Internet too long! Nice rebuttal to a simple explanation of making money go further.

Not only never been poor, but super offended at the mere concept that someone is poor and cant bootstrap magic math their way out of it.
