Re: Random: Animal Crossing's Stalk Market Is Turning Gamers Into Real-World Traders

@Coach_A generally speaking, when a person creates a successful business they contribute to society by offering a good or service that was previously scarce or non-existent. This pushes humanity further along for the good. What was that persons motivation for creating said business? Money. That's what it all comes down to. And what do they do with the money they earn? Most of the time they use it to push their business further and keep some for themselves. This is undoubtedly a good thing that should not be altered.

@Coach_A a little dramatic but yeah I see what you mean. I am a little biast toward capitalism because everyone I know personally thinks it’s best system but I honestly try to see both sides of the argument. However, (and you might completely disagree with me) capitalism is basically the only type of economy that has people thriving. I assume you have a more socialistic point of view on things and theoretically socialism is a should work for everyone, however, there are a lot of countries who try this but it fails miserably. (I live in a small town in PA, my family is middle class and I need to rely on myself for a car and college. So I’m not benefiting from the poor in case you were wondering)

edit: I’m not trying to say you’re wrong and your ideas are bad I’m just showing you my point of view. If you want to explain why I’m wrong I don’t mind at all, less ignorance for me.

edit 2: I think we opened an entire can of political worms on a Nintendo website lol

@nessisonett I think the first part is true and theoretically, you should get your investments worth with dividends, even though that's never the reason you invest in a stock. But I think that's mostly the investor's fault if they invest in a business that hasn't delivered anything at all. If people go into debt because of stocks that's their fault as it would be if you go into debt for gambling. I think it is much much easier, though, to make money off of stocks. My grandpa once told me a story, true or not, that a man found a pencil on the ground and kept it and traded it for a pen and traded that pen for a pack of gum, and kept trading and working his way up in value until ten years later he traded for a house. If lots of people are able to gain from the stock market I don't see why it's a bad thing. I think it's just a matter of educating people on smart ways of doing so.

edit: maybe that story wasn't the best at proving my point but it's a good story lol.

@nessisonett @Trajan I still don't see why that's a bad thing. Doesn't trading allow businesses to grow exponentially? Are you saying that private trading is fine but public trading is bad? In my eyes trading isn't bad, this past year I made $150 on robinhood easily. I would compare it to gambling on a sports event but more predictable. I'm still in high school and haven't taken a class in economics btw so excuse my ignorance.

edit: In fact what happened in this story coincidentally happened exactly to me, my dad gave me $100 for the stock market and I was able to double it. I actually reinvested it and now I'm making even more money.

Here's the thing @Snakesglowcaps, Nintendo could have easily delayed it and polished/add more to this game. This is also a $60 game, if customers don't feel like it's a valued purchase they have every right to say so. Why are you defending a billion-dollar corporation? You do have a point however that Nintendo has been working from home for a majority of its development. But, according to rumor, they didn't start until February, which sounds like poor planning to me. Lol sorry to add to another of your millions of pings.
