Capitalism Means Policing Big Companies

I wonder why I don’t see stuff like this being prosecuted. It seems like there should be bipartisan consensus that it’s bad. But I don’t even hear leftists talk about it. Instead, from what I’ve seen, they talk about other stuff like breaking up Amazon or taxing billionaires or whatever.

Well, Amazon does this (fake discounts) too, and it is one of the many things people are mad at Amazon for.

On a related note, I’ll highlight a better company:

Welcome to GOG.com | best PC games DRM-free

Known for selling DRM-free games, GOG also provides price history information next to sale prices:

Also that countdown timer is real. Some of their games go on sale pretty frequently but they do go off sale too.

So apparently it does sometimes get prosecuted.

Not often enough, with large enough penalties, to stop it from being widespread, I think.
