If you’re buying every game used and you like the game you should be taxed because the company isn’t seeing any of that money.

you’re kidding me? You know this effects people that borrow games from others and people who use services like Gamefly and Redbox right? Why should a person be charged a fee for renting a game or borrowing a game? Its bullshit.

Who cares? If you like the game you should be buying it to support what they did. Renting is just a way to be a cheap MF.
Borrowing is the same as buying used they aren’t seeing the money so why do they care?

You aren’t renting Street fighter or marvel are you? Why should other games that get just as much effort put into them see no money?

Wow. You’re really trying to win the most ignorant motherfucker award aren’t you?

You’ve broken the flag streak; congrats.

Probably because he couldnt afford the game you ignorant fuck. Some people have their priorities straight and not every dollar they make can go to whatever they want. Some people got loans to pay off, bills to worry about, and kids to take care of. All of that costs money.

It’s not being cheap, its called living within your means. Getting a game used at a much lower price allows people to enjoy something when they normally wouldnt be able to.

For instance say a publisher made 50 copies of a game(Im gonna use small numbers so you can comprehend it kay?).
30 of them are sold and they need to sell 40 to pull a profit.
Let’s say Billy McSugartits doesnt have that much money. he wants this game but cant afford it full price. So he gets a cheaper one used.
Billy McSugartits never actually mattered in the sales count in the first place, because he could never afford it at full price anyway. All he did was pickup a copy of the game that the developer already received money for. It was a sale the devs never would have gotten. Those 10 copies WILL eventually be sold and they will make their money. It doesnt benefit the developers, but it doesnt actually hurt them either.

Alright, I’m officially tired of your bullshit. If you got a real fucking problem with me, speak the fuck up or put me on the ignore list. Flagging every one of my posts like a scared bitch is only making you look like a yandere freak.

If you got a real problem, SPEAK THE FUCK UP NOW OR GO THE FUCK AWAY. I’ve had it with you.

If I make something and I hear a friend say “aw that was fun I borrowed it from my cousin” I would ask him why the hell didn’t he buy it and support it then?

You don’t know how many times I hear people say this and that is a good game but they didn’t even buy it. If people would stop being so dam cheap we would see some good ideas branch out instead of the same games people complain about.

Probably because he couldnt afford the game you ignorant fuck. Some people have their priorities straight and not every dollar they make can go to whatever they want. Some people got loans to pay off, bills to worry about, and kids to take care of. All of that costs money.

Those 10 copies WILL eventually be sold and they will make their money. It doesnt benefit the developers, but it doesnt actually hurt them either.

I don’t understand how people have the ability to save up to buy a used game but they can’t save up and buy a new game. Used games are only like 5 bucks off the first few weeks, can’t save 5 more bucks? By the time the used price is even low enough the “new” price isn’t even that much higher. If you’re able to even buy the system you can without a doubt save up and buy new games
Acting as if I have an unlimited amount of money and I buy all these games and that is not even the case. When I want something I save up for it simple as that.

As for the the sale not already counting that is a lie. What would happen if everyone said that?
What would happen if every time I went to gamestop I seen a used game and bought it because I said “Oh the game is there the sale isn’t gonna count anyways”?
