Just for the record, there's a difference between being wrong and being crazy.
Thinking US$500 was too much and that US$400 would have been the final price? Wrong but reasonable.
Thinking this was an orchestrated ploy, a conspiracy for a mic drop moment? That's crazy. People believe these fantastical narratives instead of accepting that things tend to be closer to what they actually look like than what an anime plot would suggest.
The shame part of that wall of shame wasn't being wrong about the price - no shame in missing a number. It's in anybody over the age of 14 (I'll excuse our Neoyounglings for doing these things) who still thinks in these terms. Like, even if Geoff had been wrong and the final price was actually higher, or lower, suggesting he was in on it as some sort of psyops marketing? I'm not saying it's impossible, but it's such a weirdly specific and odd thing to believe is "obvious" the way so many here did.
Stay weird, GAF.
