Forums - Nintendo Discussion - People sell game saves on Ebay?

dampowell on 28 January 2010

So I was just looking to add some Mint Zelda Games to my growing Zelda Collection (I am short a few mint games, like Windwaker, Original Gold Box Zelda and a few others). And I realized people sell Save files for Games on Ebay? Not to Mention the specific guy had 10,000 sales of game saves and 99.8% feedback. Am I missing something here? I thought the point of buying a game was to experience the game? These games saves are selling at $19.99 to $29.99 a piece!



Check out my Fan-Made Metroid Remix trailer HERE!

Well, people want to see the ending I guess.

People bought Game Genie in the past because they got stuck and needed help.  Having a game save that has progress can help.  Besides this, sometimes having this enables you to get unlockables you normally don't have.

People have lots of reasons to buy and play games.  Not all of them are to face the most brutal challenge on the planet, defeat and experience it, and puff themselves up like they accomplish something above average, that they can boast about.

I suppose you *could* pay for saves of games...

Or you could go here: http://www.wiisave.com

...Come to think of it, this is probably where the dude who sells em gets his merchandise...
