>tfw you realise that buying and selling used games does far

Not enough damage. It's still pumping out rancid garbage at an alarming rate.

the games industry just called and they wanted you to know how deeply they appreciate you going to bat for them like this, OP

But without physical media Nintendo can cut me off from their servers so I can't buy any games at will.

At least I can't get banned from GameStop, and if I did, somebody else can just go in and buy the game for me. The same can't be said for digital media. Also, since when is gaming just about the industry? What about people who can't afford new games so they get a great deal on a used game? I don't exist to serve the gaming industry. I support the industry cause I don't want the gaming world to stagnate and I understand that this is a lot of peoples livelihoods.

There's literally no reason to buy used games anymore. If you want cheap, you pirate. If you want convenient, you pirate. If you want to support the devs, you buy.

Damage to bad companies is good for the industry. If a game is a steaming pile of shit, and a bunch of people who bought it resell it because it's not worth keeping, the steaming pile of shit gets less sales and the people who buy used copies save money so they are more likely to buy different games.

being a poorfag sucks, i want to buy games new but that shit will kill me

also sauce

I like used games, what am I supposed to, play every old arcade machine on virtual console? I like the old hard-ware, and the nostalgia that comes along with it. Not to say I don't enjoy virtual console. I wouldn't turn down the opportunity to play some game just because someone downloaded it online.

I can play street fighter five for 15 bucks, (1 hour) at the local arcade. With an arcade stick and everything.... Not a lot of people to play with though, and there's not too many games at that p

Pirate and spend the money you saved on products and services that are actually produced locally.

Yes, never pay for video-games. Instead buy organic dildos.

There used to be a Namco arcade next to where I lived and it got shut down. It was the most glorious arcade of my life. Why is this world so cruel.

The pre-order/marketing research of GameStop/EBGames is far more helpful to the industry and publishers than they would like to admit.

As for gamers, there is no benefit to buying a used game for $45, when retail costs $47.99

That's why starving artists should always remain starving. Once they start making money, they become lazy.

What are you faggots talking about ? I buy my games used off eBay, CL, Letgo, and at garage sales all the time. I'm getting 45-50 dollar 3ds games for 10-15 dollars. Sometimes I get some dirty ones and I just clean them and they work perfectly. You faggots will sperg over anything.

> Hurr Durr either buy new or pirate that's it.

I'm a collector fag and enjoy having games on my shelves. Same reason why I buy hardcover books instead of using a Kindle .

Wouldn't it equal the same amount of damage though?

If devs made decent fucking games instead of content-less DLC-filled cashgrabs aimed at casuals the games "industry" would be better off

>>387199028
Yeah, but only because it keeps GameStop alive.

Implying that you wouldn't rather have a brand new one if you could for the same price.
