Sounds a whole lot like alternative herbal medicine marketed as supplements.
 
WHY ARE CIGARETTES STILL NOT BANNED.

Seriously, they smell bad, they're addictive and they are dangerous to your health. I will never smoke a cigarette. I don't really give into peer pressure either.

You wouldn't if you're living with a smoker.
 
I'll add Bioware games like Mass Effect.

Bioware games tend to be cash grabby products.

since when

they have like 2 cash grabby games iirc and one of those was ea's fault.
 
hey wait was mass effect even cash grabby
i thought they were good and i dont remember them having stupid amounts of overpriced dlc
 
Actually, I think amiibos are a bit cash-grabby. They don't have enough uses for twelve dollars.

Still, I certainly want a Dark Pit amiibo because I...


uh... like Dark Pit.
 
And it's, like, the only way to get merchandise from Nintendo. Even Mario's merchandising isn't expansive.
 
I added Graphics Cards as an option because they get too cash grabby.

EDIT: I added Amiibos.

No, if you have a good job with a good income, most cars are pretty affordable. Buying a car is like paying off a rent every month; for example, if you buy a Toyota Camry, you spend about, say, several hundred bucks each month to eventually pay off its 20,000 dollar price

That's pretty decent for a new car.

This is like calling a house "cash grabby".
 
I added Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash and LJN's movie based games to this list.

Face it, everything about this game is cash grabby. It's a rushed pile of garbage that shouldn't have been rushed and should have had more development time instead of getting out quickly for the holiday season. The game is so poorly made but atleast it is slightly better than any crappy sports game the AVGN has reviewed.

LJN is notorious for making horrendous games based on movie licenses. AVGN has reviewed their crappy games and hates them all for being junky.

It's actually not only about the upfront price ($25,000 isn't too bad, by the way). Gasoline consumption is a big factor. For example, our SUV can cost up to $200 a month in fuel, which is pretty inconvenient. Compare that to a Tesla, which costs $0 per month. True, Teslas are pretty expensive, but I'm pretty sure that's just because the technology is still pretty new; plus, their coming model is set to be a lot cheaper at just $35,000, which looks pretty interesting.

I mean it's still a lot of money, but keep in mind you're buying a giant moving contraption that you sit in and move rapidly around. Remember that the car had to be not only manufactured but carefully designed so it doesn't blow up upon the slightest impact, among other features. I'd think the price is quite justified for most cars.
 
A vintage car would be even more expensive than cars today since they are an antique. They are valued booty.

Depends on the car, some were commonly made and don't go for much like Mustangs, but things like a Nomad Bel-Air? gg no re

EA Sports games aren't THAT bad, each year they get updated to match new players or reflect on how current players are doing

I'd say Xbox Live membership
 
I added the Xbox Live Membership option.
 
Pretty much any in-app purchase is cash grabby. These big companies charge way too much for something that really means nothing.
