Reply to comment by JaceTheWoodSculptor in Two unreleased and 'never digitized' NES games are up for auction on eBay by thebelsnickle1991

I've actually followed him pretty closely. I've listened to all of his bullshit excuses. Watched him talk for 40 minutes about it once. He's a fast talker. He has an answer for everything. But at the end of the day he did what he did and then followed it up with just some light felonies.

He's trash. Anyone simping for him might as well just stick with their musk fetish.

>I know they cost more but my point is that I’m buying from companies that are well established in the realm of production and innovation. So you typically get what you pay for.

Sure, I'm just not sure how that's relevant to discussing if Nothing earbuds are worth $99. Apple doesn't sell $99 earbuds, the Pixel Buds A don't compete with Nothing's feature set.

‘Nothing’ is well known for their unique design aesthetic but not much more, and unfortunately for your average consumer aesthetic is not always enough to rationalize a high price tag.

Warranties, name recognition, and public opinion are more important, and Nothing doesn’t compete in that realm as compared to Apple or Google, so they get to charge higher prices.

Airpods Pro costs more?

I'm not here to tell Nothing how to run their business, if they lose sales that's on them, I don't really care. Maybe for their customer base, the Nothing name brand is strong enough to justify the premium.

I'm just talking from the perspective of a consumer who has seen the reviews and has a basic idea of the specs, I disagree with people who think at $99 this was a bad deal
