You may kill an ork, you may torture an ork, hell you may even humiliate an ork, but, by Gork, you cant make da boyz depressed.
Have da Boyz lay out my formal shorts.
@@BlakesTakes420 They do be laying them out already, boss. They also each be wanting to lay a brick on them to show their appreciation, so since there be a lot of boiz around and since your arse be awul small comparatively, not much of them be visible from undern da boiz gifts. Me thinks that wont be a problem though, you spikey stunties seem quite smiley while your cow god dumps on ya from above. Me and da boyz may be mushrooms, you be keeping us in the darklands and feeding us shit, you also be whipping us and even worse making us work, but at least we are rebelling from time to time. Are you?
From my knowledge with the orc thing specifically the ones you see as units are getting to fight as a reward so that why I assumed they were so amped to be there also there is a tech in the tree that implies they actually want to be fighting called "Stronghold syndrome".
I like the head cannon. But I really think they should have added differentiating voice lines to make these beautiful and unique models stand out.
They are also captured orcs from the surounding area. The hobgoblins are part of Chaos Dwarf society so they speak a different language from regular goblins/orcs. The hobs are a step up from the "workers" so they have nicer things and someone to look down on. The role regular goblins play in an orc tribe/warband isn't much different in chaos dwar culture, makes sense they are showing the same attitude. The orcs get to fight so they are happy. The orc "workers" who do not get to fight are probably way worse off mentally than anyone else in the setting. It also might be due to Wagh mechanics, they may see the faction leaders as warbosses and are happy to work for da biggest and da baddest.
@Malignard Not all of them have spent their lives as slaves though. The CD are constantly bringing in new slaves, and existing slaves are quickly worked to death. There is no time for the orc and goblin slaves to develope their own culture in CD society. It is a core mechanic of the faction to get the player to be agressive by killing off your supply of slaves.
Well, I purchased the dwarfs as I was excited for a new update. I am satisfied with them myself. However, the price is a big issue, which remains and I will openly admit that I am part of the problem, I pre-ordered them, once I've seen that they fixed the gunpowder issues (for the most part. Some jank still remains, I'm afraid, but segnificantly less).
Personally I would only recommend it, if you enjoy playing as Clan Skryre and want to absolutely destroy the campaign early on. Further more I hope that you like cheese, because the slave mechanic is one of the most busted forms of currency the game has to offer as it stands now. It allows you to rush confederations, which gets you 3 legendary lords as early as only the Orcs could get them, making the elves blush in envy for how easy you can confederate. You will not once be tight on money, you can rush most important buildings to allow your expansion to be outrageously fast. You can easily make allies with Vilitch, Archeron and Norsca, while completely and utterly stomping everyone else. The amount of slaves you gather from putting multiple full gobbo armies to Clan Carrion's area (or Zharr Naggrund before you confederate) breaks the game in half. Those two factions are sentinels and are incapable of ever declaring war on you (maybe during the Vermintide endgame crisis). You effectively have infinite income. All you have to care about is to balance raw material and armaments. Due to the endless slave and gold income, you can spam tons of outposts without consequences and mostly rush them.
TL;DR: The Chorfs steamroll harder than Ikit Claw, have an almost as great defended area, far greater income (without a certain exploit) and nothing gets in their way. Yes, you might lose an army or a settlement here and there. Maybe your Convois, but they have not a single road block.
Another fantastic comment, thank you Koyu Ruh. Don't think I've forgotten about your amazon fulfillment centre idea 📝... Watch this space.
@@BlakesTakes420 Ah, thank you kindly! There are just so many issues with the Chorfs considering their balancing. The most glaring one obviously being the free cast of the metal sorcerer hero, closely followed by the raiding. Latter of which CA can't really fix without adding 2 terrible major threats to the campaign by making the sentinels able to declare war, or completely reworking the chorfs. I'm not complaining, balancing your raw mats and armaments is annoying and terribly frail. With the AI rushing your weakest settlements, you are bound to roll your eyes and make red numbers here and there, if you don't spam your Amazon Employees to rush your buildings.
The first thing that turned me away from the DLC was the fact that it costs 30 CHF or about 28$ here in Switzerland on top of that when I heard they weren't going to adress any of the major bugs with the upcoming patch I was rather dissapointed. What pissed me off some more though is that just this weekend when a friend of mine asked if he should get Warhammer 3 or not I went to check if any of the games were on sale and saw that the DLCs from the first game all still cost 9$ on to top it off they made the "the Warlord and the King" FLC now DLC that costs 9$ as well. I remember getting this for free back in the day.
Another thing also concering DLCs but not this one is that with the Champions of Chaos DLC they didn't include the warriors of Chaos DLC in it or atleast made a package deal. They still sell the subpar Warriors of Chaos DLC for 9$ while the superb DLC Champions of Chaos hasn't dropped in price on been on sale (to my knowledge) since it came out, which is just emberassing. to sum it up I am rather displeased with how CA handles their monetization policy and it just seems to me that they are more focus on making money that actually delivering fair priced and high quality conctent like the used to do during Warhammer's II live cycle, like you mentioned.
However, this is not to say that I am not enjoying the game. I love it and I want it to succeed just as I want to the same for Darktide. I put hundreds of hours into WH3 already and I am thoroughly enjoying it with Nurgle and Khorne being added to my favourite races alongside the Greenskins and Skaven with Vampire Coast being a forthy contender. Just like swarm style factions that implement the quantity over quality style of warfare. That's also why I enjoy Thrott the Unclean more than Ikit but that's just personal preference.
Darktide is such a mess that it makes me thankful for CA, even with their price hike. 😂
still worth it. i do wish the discounts were steeper, but what can i say? gaming is barren these days. It's not like there's another fantasy strategy game that comes even close to warhammer.
hell, theres not a lot of competition for warhammer in general in all of video games. :(
@@fluffyisyermom7631 tragically you're spot on. Hard agree with everything you've said there.
A barren wasteland of predatory microtransactions and unfinished games. Not the best timeline, for sure.
@@BlakesTakes420 man I could write essays on gaming and micro transactions...but many have trailblazed before me and all have failed to turn the tides.
But its not all doom and gloom. I found rust, warhammer, barotrauma, and a handful of other games this month during the steam sale.
So there is still hope. But in order to change the way things are now, we just gotta keep putting our mo ey where our mouth is.
I can't change the fact that people spend 5000 dollars on jpgs in phone games, but maybe if I buy WH dlcs and WH4. Other studios will try this method too and produce games fueled by expansions and dlc....just like the good old days
Another take from Blake! Excellent as always keep up the good work sir.
Thank you for your kind words, they're alway appreciated ❤️
Alright, I guess there's nothing to do but to say out my own thoughts and conclusions about the Chaos Dwarfs.
Firstly, I appreciate most of the artistic designs that went into it. They managed to turn the Babylonian style into something palatable for the audience, which is not necessarily easy, all the while juggling in their other hand the not-quite steampunk elephant in the room, which - I'll be honest, I am generally not a fan of. Steampunk in fantasy always has the same mind numbing effect on me as seeing Tesla in a piece of modern media, because I know it's just a cheap attempt at having pseudo-modern stuff in a setting where that doesn't belong. Yes I know the Empire has steam powered tanks and clockwork horses and the Dwarfs have helicopters but those examples (mostly) work and I would consider them low-steampunk. Perfectly tolerable in small quantities. That out of the way, I found the Chaos Dwarf visuals to be refreshing, the industrial and Babylonian styles meshed well and even down to the small details of their maps and area they're in were ranging from fine to impressive. Mechanically speaking the faction has a lot of refined animations and while indeed there are many clipping issues judging by Archaon's neck-guard it'll be fixed in five years, no problem.
Sound was also lovely, although I too found it a bit weird for the Laborers to use generic Greenskin lines and hopefully that will change in the future because it is just plain odd to hear a Goblin or Orc praising the Waaagh while fighting against X, under the yoke of the Chaos Dwarf slavers.
As far as gunpowder problems I haven't really noticed an issue with Blunderbusses, I think the punchy damage and their short range helps them feel impactful and doesn't really allow them to feel weak, which is still a big problem with loads of other missile units, their damage is just not all that great.
Siege battles are probably my biggest gripe in this game, I legitimately want my WH1/2 sieges back, because even though they were repetitive they just worked. The maps are way too huge for any garrison to protect efficiently, and that is further worsened by CA's insistence of giving every unit magic ladders which admittedly makes attacking for us easier, but defending just generally impossible. Settlement sniping and the AI ignoring others is also an issue. I remember in WH1 there were quite a few systems I don't really see these days, the AI tried to avoid trespassing, the game tracked their reliability too which made them less likely to just attack you despite age old agreements still being in place and so on and so forth.
There's relatively few problems with the DLC itself, some Chaos Dwarf units over perform for sure, but it's kind of just the state of the game that irks me. I will continue playing it because I don't want to go back to 2, which had its fair share of problems (put it this way, I played 600 hours of WH1 in one year and only 1000 hours of WH2 in four-five) but that doesn't make me fully satisfied. The DLC is good but I can't help but to feel like I'm being nickle and dimed here. Yes I understand that having less legendary lords in a pack is almost a necessity at this point because of how bloated it all gotten (maybe they could've tried to show temperance when releasing the third Skaven or Lizardmen DLC) but I think the answer isn't to sell less for more and tell us how great we have it, but to invest it into opening up areas of the map that are currently barred off and adding more areas to places we have. I think the Southlands, Naggaroth and Ulthuan could all use some expansions to make it more fun, but other places could receive some love too. The Border Princes, Estalia and Tilea got mildly bigger with more provinces and other places could too. After Warhammer 1's Norsca DLC I felt like things were looking up, that thing was amazing, especially when compared to the Beastmen and Wood Elves DLCs, which were both kinda weird. WH2 seemed to be in on this thinking because both faction DLCs were not only excellent, but in my opinion significantly better than any of the starting game two races, which I all very much hate to play. I did deflate a bit at the Ogre DLC delivering not four but two lords, an incomplete roster that basically misses three units in order to be on par with the tabletop (3-5 new units are the box standard Lord Pack DLC amounts), faction mechanics I am still not crazy about and this along a game that launches with 6 factions that I still do not really care about because they're not all that great.
Anyway, rambling over. Is the Chaos Dwarf DLC good? Yes. Is it worth the price? I think so. Should you buy it? Maybe on a sale. Both the Ogre Kingdoms and the Chaos Dwarfs represent a cautionary tale for me. On the one hand both delivered less than we expected and/or wanted. The Chaos Dwarf DLC is good, I think it is almost on par with the Tomb Kings DLC when it comes to fun faction mechanics, style and direction, but the increased price, the less variety of legendary characters and this weird rhetoric of "you wanted more legendary heroes so we replaced one lord with someone you probably don't care about" is seriously rubbing me the wrong way. On the other hand of it there's the free content shipped alongside it and lemme tell ya, this might just be the most disappointing FLC released so far. I have a bit of an acquired taste, and many of my favorite campaigns were the ones coming from the FLCs. Wurrzag is my second favorite and second most played campaign, I love Drycha and Tiq'taq'to was the only non-Nakai Lizardmen campaign I ever finished. So it is sort of hard for me to see why I should be fine with a single legendary hero available to only two factions and nothing else. It is free and I don't want to be entitled but I also don't like the way it is presented like a huge step up from the norm, because it isn't. In WH1 at some point the Empire just got access to Gray Wizards and at a later date to Amethyst Wizards. Just between DLCs they were tiny free updates. But when the King and the Warlord dropped we got a free Wurrzag with a whole new playstyle (sorta). The Grim and the Grom dropped with a free Imrik. See where I'm getting at? Pay more, get less, be told you're having it better than ever, and the free Happy Meal toy somehow shrank and you can only pay with it 10% of the time.
A big comment. A lot to unpack here, but I think you hit the nail on the head with the nickel and dimed expression.
Highest price of any total war dlc, and a lot of bugs introduced. 😕
@@BlakesTakes420 It's weird because pound for pound this is probably still a better deal than the Beastmen, Wood Elves, Norsca or even the Ogre Kingdoms were, but I have this animosity towards this DLC like to no other (besides the Ogres). It's one thing that game one - in my opinion - was head and shoulder above either of the games when it comes to faction design philosophy and just quirks, but I am losing my goodwill towards the franchise. It isn't Blood DLCs, or underdelivering, I just haven't really had fun with any of the core races in both game two and three. From High Elves through Kislev down to Slaanesh the life of the game for me was in the DLCs, and now that is threatened. Meanwhile all them quirks I mentioned in game one are gone and the campaign's breaking before our eyes.
Good and fair review. CA has a lot of fixing to do, but even as it is, I am having fun with Warhammer 3.
Honestly the price is not a big deal for me, you pay 22 euro for hundreds of hours of fun and I feel privileged to support my favourite franchise.
What is your campaign difficulty by the way? I play on Normal/Normal as Zhatan, made friends with Kholek, got good standings with all chaos factions, killed Grimgor and now helping my underperforming Chaos Dwarf allies, so I am in a lot of ongoing wars and I never had an issue, where enemy army came from huge distance just to raid my low tier settlement.
Thank you for your comment James. I'm in agreement with you on enjoying it, but I think in order for Creative Assembly to attract "fresh blood" to the franchise they need to step it up.
I normally play on very hard campaign and normal battle diffuculty. But I had Cathay forces declare war on me then March the entire mountains of mourn to siege me.
I'll grab a video of what I mean next time I can.
@@JamesBond-ux1it on anything lower I find the AI doesn't do anything. What they need to do is actually pose a threat for the game to be fun and enjoyable, I never see them take more than 1 city, and they rarely field more than 1 army.
Thanks for commenting
everyone is talking about the chorfs... but grimgor there just having the timie of his life being able to cap a tier 4-5 settlement at turn 5 or so
I think I've seen some people get zhar Naggrund as early as turn 2!
I'm a bit late to this party as I have just found this video and your channel but I suppose I'll leave a comment and by extension my current opinion of this DLC. I am quite jaded by this DLC and even the last one in all honesty mostly due to the high quality and attention to detail that they both had for their factions. While I believe that currently Warhammer 2 definitely sits at a higher quality compared to its sequel, the great lord pack plague that struck Warhammer 2 left the majority of factions, even the ones it was supposed to be updating, completely and utterly in the dust while other factions made out like bandits. Skaven being the prime example who got a total of 3 updates and all of them were home runs while the other side of their respective packs felt very rushed out the door, not on equal footing, the only pack that was close was Throt and the Sisters of Twilight but even then the Sisters still had actual functional problems with their mechanics while Throt only really needed balancing.
My greatest fear with Warhammer 3 is that the same will happen yet again, that we will just get more lord packs and content, then not all the factions will get the attention that they very much deserve while others hoard of all the benefits. Honestly, I dont really care if every DLC is stuffed to the brim with content as long as it's fairly priced, as I am not impressed with the chaos dwarf price either, but if the DLC goes deep into a faction's roots and reworks them to be as fun and interesting as all the others, then I'd say that's a decisive victory. I hope that the Champions of Chaos and Chaos Dwarfs DLCs are a sign that they will focus on individual factions and rework them fully to be fun and exciting, but I still worry. Sorry I know that's a big read, it's just what's on my mind.
Great comment and I share similar fears. Unfortunately we're already seeing the a very similar power creep from the champions of chaos DLC and Forge of the Chaos dwarves. For example, try playing Nurgle on the harder difficulties without the champions of chaos DLC... you're in for a very rough time. The Chaos Dwarves are extremely powerful, whilst the starting races like Kislev, Nurgle etc. have far less tools at their disposal in the current meta.
what's the saying? History doesn't repeat itself, but it rhymes.
I just bought choas dwarves and my missing 4 lord packs on sale last week on the sale and I still haven’t booted up the game. I love the game but after short campaign victory on the very lord I own and a couple self favorites I’ve done several times it’s so frustrating to have something new that feels good always fall back after turn 25 into the same frustration fest of auto resolve always spoon feeding my enemies and every siege battle either being a slog, a free walk, or just a I’m over it and hard camp with my flying lord for the win that after so many years you’d think they’d have tuned some things around to make it more fun lol
i didn't pick up the dlc yet, but i disagree about the difficulty of the game overall. I absolutely have had some challenging and engaging campaigns playing as settra, balthasar gelt, greasus goldtooth, and kholek suneater. I will say that each campaign plays extremely DIFFERENT depending on your faction and their starting position nowadays. They're not all uniformly challenging and engaging. The greenskins are so braindead easy to me its not even fun to roleplay. I appreciate the issues you have with the game but this one feels enormously difficult to address for so many different factions with different mechanics, neighbors, etc., so i sympathize with CA on that one, and think there are a lot of well balanced facions
Indeed there's a lot of assymetry between factions. But I find the AI will declare war on you, cheese your movement range so you can never catch them and attack an undefended level 1 settlement. They never consolidate their forces into a threat in my experience.
Thanks for your comment.
I'm so torn on Warhammer 3. So much good, but a handful of annoyances with it. I've greatly enjoyed the Chorfs, and I'm happy to support my favorite franchise (Old World Fantasy) but I can't seem to figure out how much CA actually cares about TW3. Are they invested in making this the best TW:W title for years to come? Or are they just trying to skate by while soaking up guaranteed money from DLC?
I don't know what the answer is. TW:W2 feels considerably more polished. I like the art more. Playing the factions feels more in balance with each other. Though I do consider it a much harder game. I can steam roll in 3, even when playing fast & loose, and get completely blind-sided and be obliterated in 2 while playing serious.
But there is a lot of good in TW:W3 that I greatly appreciate. Some of the QoL changes are irreplacable to me now. I love some of the attention to detail with the lore. The whole design of Chorfs looks like it was handled with passion. The effects in battle are amazing (I could field a whole army of Hobgoblin archers just to watch everything burn.)
Im rabling, but I share both your passion and frustration with this game as i just want it to be the best it can be.
In my opinion your comment is basically exactly how I feel with the franchise.
There's the glimmer of what could be the best strategy game of all time, let down by bugs and poor AI.
We need more Blake's Takes
Thank you for your kind words. More content coming soon ™️
The only thing I would personaly change on the chaos dwarf mechanics is the unit cap. I would change it to a cap per army. Not a world cap.
It absolutely should be faction wide caps. There is already a huge incentive to not spam same units in your army.
Agree with shmekel on this one. Factionwide caps make a lot more sense.
👏🏼👏🏼
I feel like the complaint about fewer lords is not meaningfull problem. I tried to play with vampire coast, and they just didn't do it for me. I would rather have three different playthroughs that I am interested in, rather than four that I am not. The price increase is bad, but that is the kind of corporate calculation that everyone does. ''It seams like we will make more profit even if players will be somewhat angry''.
Your argument doesn't make sense. "Less Lords is not a meaningful problem, I didn't enjoy the vampire coast."
No offence intended, but thats not an argument. You didn't enjoy the vampire coast because there was too many Lords to select from did you?
No, you disliked the vampire coast because you didn't enjoy the faction mechanics, which is fine but irrelevant to this.
You say you'd rather have 3 different playthroughs but all 3 Chaos dwarf Lords play extremely similarly, in fact if say the 4 vampire coast factions play very differently in comparison to the 3 chaos dwarf Lords. so I'm not sure where you're going with that point either.
Again no offence intended but, let's call a spade a spade here. We paid more money for less product.
@@BlakesTakes420 I am sorry if I was unclear. My point was that we paid more for a product that was less, but beater. Eating metaphorical shit is very cheap, I would rather have more expensive good food.
@@masaheimoi Ok I understand your point now. I disagree with it, but I understand it.
I think you'll find more folks would disagree with you too if you take the reviews on steam of the vampire coast versus the reviews on steam of Chaos dwarfs:
Rating: 6/10 · 3,001 reviews - Chaos dwarfs
Rating: 7/10 · 1,280 reviews - Vampire coast
I appreciate your input though.
@@BlakesTakes420 I think there were people who review bombed the steam reviews. If there were people who did that, then they were not giving the number based on Chaos dwarves quality compared to cost and number of legendary lord's, but on slogan "we get less for more money", which is very catchy.
But I don't know. I can't think beater way to evaluate opinions of others.
Yeah the AI needs a complete overhaul.
Eh. I'll consider WH3 when they get around to fixing Norsca, not before.
Tbf I think Norsca is in a better state than it was in warhammer 2
@@BlakesTakes420 they're been promising an update / fix that's larger than a few tweaks for more than a year if I remember correctly
Norsca is in decent shape right now. And with the current roadmap we’ll not see any changes for Norsca this year.
@@TheTdroid but they fixed it
The AI is one of the main reasons why I stopped playing. It sucks both in battle and in campaign map.
I'm really hoping they stay true to the road map and touch up the AI.
Forgive me if I don't hold my breath, however...
Honestly I feel no hurry to buy the dlc, its buggy and core issues skill very much present, just play Grimgor that was fixed instead
I feel a lot of people would agree with you on this. Wait until substantial patches have landed to continue buying and you'll also get a discount.
Petition to add Warcraft 3 peon voice lines to the laborers.
Something need doing?
Oh yeah that's the reason why I installed a lot of mods that really restrict the AI into actually performing tasks instead of just you know be line it to me because we're at War I must kill you.
And even then with literally 5 mods that are all supposed to work with each other and make the AI do other things besides just coming right at you when attacking you every second on the second they still somehow keep just pumping out billions of armies instill marching my direction.
The Siege absolutely suck and is not fun because it pretty much boils down to stand in one spot and grind the enemy down and let the towers kill them or if you're the one Sieging they do the same exact talking to you with the caveat of throwing walls in the way wasting your time unless you have fly Army units or Heroes.
And I'm in the same boat as you are I have all the DLCs but this is the one DLC that I refuse to pick up until it goes on sale or they fix many of the bugs.
It also doesn't help that apparently a lot of these units are sharing animations of units that already exists and even the more unique ones are pretty much recycling animations in attacks that already exists and I'm even told that there's not enough mechanical machinery that the chaos dwarfs apparently use
Great comment, a very interesting read.
I play exclusively vanilla, mainly because I don't like updates breaking mods and getting used to the mods then having to wait till they're fixed. It's a lot of work.
@BlakesTakes420 good. Stay away from mods because it will make you not get use to vanilla and have to install more mods to fix and replace the ones that don't get updated anymore so it then becomes this downward spiral.
The mods are good yes. But sometimes I hate it.
im so sad to see this.. race be wrapped up in controversy
Me too, chaos dwarves have always been a favorite of mine. Sad to see the mixed reviews.
@@BlakesTakes420 yeah the race is.. good but the practices surrounding them and some of the quesionable nature put into their campagin mechanics has definetly soured the experience.. as well as the price point
Warhammer 3 is bad compared to Warhammer 2. The AI is even worse then Warhammer 2. The AI was bad there but they managed to downgrade it alot. I play it on legendary difficulty and to reach turn 30 in it is a nightmare with every faction in the world declaring war on you. Khorne factions ignoring everyone else and just focus on you when you are so far away is too stupid. Then the beginning of battles. The most retarded AI to date. Lets you bombard them, magic dump them. I mean what is the challenge? Just get range units and artillery once again just like Warhammer 2. The AI is very crippled in this game. Honestly higher difficulties are a waste of time. Which sieges dont help at all. Sieges in any Warhammer aren't like Medieval 2 which is a big shame because of the potential of it. You have so many different types of monsters, artillery, range units, magic. Would have been great but with a shitty AI they get worse with each touch im glad they didnt in the end. The slog it would be for each major settlement would be a horrible experience. Finally my biggest complaint after the Chaos Dwarves release. Why on earth we dont have that type of in depth research tree with other factions since the start. Imagine Tomb Kings with that type of research or the Dark Elves. Also a place for the Mortuary cult where you increase the unit cap for the Constructs and legions by sacrificing slaves. Is this where the money of the Chaos Dwarfs went? To this good research, unit cap system and upgrade system. Honestly it is added to my complaint now because many other factions deserve this system as it matches their lore. CA doesnt know what it is doing. Either get it for free or in a big sale.
Yeah there's a lot of negatives for WH3, but there is definitely some good stuff in there. They just need to sort sieges, bugs and stability issues and I'd say the game would be in a much better state.
Thanks for your comment
@@BlakesTakes420 Dont get me wrong I still played alot and occasionally do. Its just the issues get annoying with each playthrough. This is why I take breaks from the game so they dont annoy me much when I go back. But CA needs to do a bigger focus on bug fixes and improvements before the next dlc comes. Otherwise it turns people off as the annoying gets more annoying as Players dont have solutions except cheesing the game and it isnt hard in the current state.
The price is the least problematic of all the issues to me. The prices of everything are rising. Everything is inflating. It is immature to expect prices for games to stay the same.
Well it appears that for a lot people the price is a big issue, hence the mixed reviews on steam.
I think it's immature for people to call other people names for expressing concerns about a product / service they use.
@@BlakesTakes420 Fair enough. I meant no offense. But I feel like it is an unrealistic expectation for the entertainment sector to be unaffected by a global recession, you know?
@@robrobusa if more people spoke out about the global gouging of prices that big businesses are doing then it wouldn't occur.
People are misled into thinking that there are other elements at play other than the greed of Company owners or executive officers.

Oh there's a war in Ukraine we best put the prices up!
Oh look, Covid19, we need to put prices up.
In the meantime, corporate profits have NEVER BEEN HIGHER.
It's a scam to alleviate more money from people, and unfortunately far too many people have drunk the kool-aid, and are now parroting the narrative that industries are pedalling.
We need to hold companies to account when they raise prices otherwise they will continue to do it with impunity.
