| binary solo said: Given you can cut out the middle man and buy/sell on eBay and the like I say used games are absolutely fine. But I wouldn't buy a game used if it was a game with only modest to low sales. Games like that need the support if they are good games. So I was always going to buy Demon's Souls and Valkyria Chonicles new. However games with moderately high sales I'll tend to buy used if they are games I only have a passing interest in and I see them available used for a real bargain price. Otherwise I'll just give them a miss entirely. I support EA's online pass system. If you want to play online and you've bought the game used I think it's fair enough to pay a small one off cost towards the upkeep of the online component, which new game buyers are paying for up front. |
I am somewhat on the opposite end.
I buy games when I see good deals and rarely buy on release week unless is one of the top games.
I've not bought any used games for forever.
I don't give priority to "low sales" items. That's not my problem. It's the publisher's job to sell the games.
I completely boycott EA for giving my systems of choice the middle finger and don't even buy their games that I am interested in that's on sale. It's my way of saying FU back :)
