  • But as with all products production cost is not really saying that much

    How much money did the design process take as they surely have some extremely high-paid people doing that? If you then include their deliberate small number of produced goods in order to stay exclusive that design cost is distributed across only a couple of thousand bags. Also what about the designs that didn’t become bags at all?

    I’m not saying it’s worth that price at all as their main drawing point is marketing but just looking at the production cost is a very short-sighted view and a very populist framing, too.

    There’s a reason why actually rich people don’t walk around with the stuff those luxury brands sell in their stores - it’s just peacocking to show how much money you can afford to waste and nothing else






  • I think the biggest problem is that there is no disadvantage for getting 3rd place over 2nd place. Sometimes it’s even better to be 3rd and get the easier side of the bracket than going through groups as the 2nd-placed team

    If they want to have a RO16 then they should perhaps find a system where they put the group-winners one round ahead without playing while 2nd and 3rd places play each other - or that the third placed games has to play another knockout between themselves to join the others.

    It’s horrible that the groups that play last have way more information about which amount of points will be enough to go through than the groups that finish first so it’s totally possible for some of them to just sit back knowing that they are already guaranteed to go through even if they get 3rd place.
