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.
This. I want to dump on it as quick as possible…but I’d also like better sources to do so.
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.
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”?
