they are overpricing everything just so they can get money, so yes, they are succumbing to inflation

No it's not inflation, they're just overpricing things and running meaningless events to sell merch because we're not players, only talking wallets and living bank accounts.

They lost money

#

they lost investors so they lost money

#

so they need to sell things in the store that look cool enough for a person to buy or just really want and it works

#

the more money recroom gets the more investors

# limber lodge They haft to pay their employees some how

If you've seen who they're hiring, along with the benefits and payment rate, and then compare it to how many staff they currently have (staff means people actually working for them not vmods or influencers) and then compare it to rec rooms current playerbase count you'll know that's complete horseshit

#

well they don't have many employess actually

#

if you look at the company's profile you could see info on investors and stuff

It not only involves the inflation part of things, but price and demand also play a big role considering Rec Room's value during the pandemic all the way up to this point.

yes yes

The document that guy mentioned up top was made in 2021, around that time, we were still sheltering in place, and watching the game exponentially grow 3 times what it usually was in users. One key thing to point out is that the employee amount went from 45 to 200 from 2016-2021. It might be more now in 2023 and with that, the rate of inflation probably grew about 3 or 4 percent more over the past couple of years. Now that we're maskless and free, we've lost some users, and so the investors, and some veterans, are practically gone.

they have 292 employees

#

19 investors

Holy shit.

#

Yeah, no wonder Rec Room is making their prices high for newer things, not to mention the recycled items with recycled skins.

fickle crest
#

they apparently used to have 24 investors not so long ago

#

so they lost tons of money from that

#

also another thing which I don't really understand but I'm sure you probably do is this deal thing

In a sense, it's also our fault since our personal opinions and demands for things can cause the price to also be higher. If it's someone who doesn't have money, a job, or rely on their parents/guardians' cards, they're just broke unfortunately. Creating things is honestly a skill issue, but it can be done.

the latest deal amount they had was 145 million dollars in december 20, 2021
