RE: A brief, but by no means complete, list of hyperbolic pricing idioms used by Kotaku lately for their side-hustle of, presumably, affiliate link articles: - "For pocket change" (they love this one) - "practically free" - "near no-margin" - "to peanuts" - "going for peanuts" - "isn't prioritizing profit" - "chose market share over profits" - "makes a zero-profit play" - "went full charity mode" - "almost free" - "mere pennies" - "is offloading" - "goes nuclear" - "goes full chaos-mode" - "sells for budget-money" (?) - "drops to nearly free" - "goes hard on" - "swallows it's pride" (!) - "Black Friday Pennies" - "zero-margin Black Friday gamble" - "decided money doesn't matter" - "woke up and chose chaos" - "activated chaos mode" - "is going nuts" View quoted note →
