For those who don’t get it, the comic is mocking (to me) how crappy the AI is in games, especially console-based ones. This is why I prefer to play in person, get the interaction and figure out the real haggling. Obviously the used weapons guy is going to do whatever he can to make a profit, that’s a given but he’s not going to low ball in order to gouge someone later as if he were a Austin-based realtor trying to buy my house.
Now if the pandemic would end soon so I may return to playing in person. Sooooo bored!
