I'm a PC gamer, and PC games are so cheap that I don't even need to trade them in. PC Gaming is AWESOME!!!

PC gaming was even more awesome when you didn't have to tie a game's serial key to your online account. Let's take my Diablo battle chest vs. Left 4 Dead. My Diablo, Diablo II and LOD can be resold on ebay no problem if I wanted to resell them. Why? Because Diablo 1 doesn't even have a serial key and Diablo II/LOD allow you to use the same serial key on multiple battle.net accounts (just not at the same time. But if you are going to sell a game, that's not a problem if you are an honest seller right?)

But Left 4 Dead? That game is tied to your Steam account permanent. So any physical copy of Left 4 Dead is USELESS paperweight.

To be fair though, I made the mistake of letting one of my pirate friends borrow my DII and LOD serial keys so technically I can't resell those games in good conscience because if say one day my buddies decided to log into battle.net with my serial keys, the new owner would be fucked. But that is of course my fault. lol. A responsible owner who plans on reselling their games doesn't share their serial keys with cheap ass friends. lol. Not that I plan on reselling my Diablo games. I want to replay them again.



I never trade them; I never know when I'll suddenly have the urge to play that game that I haven't gotten out for two years. I've had those urges a lot, and I'm glad that I didn't sell them.



 Been away for a bit, but sneaking back in.

Gaming on: PS4, PC, 3DS. Got a Switch! Mainly to play Smash

I keep my games because trading them in is such a waste of time. You get 75 cents for 1 game.
Selling them on ebay is better, but i'm too lazy for that =p



Playstation All-Stars is one of the best games I've played this gen, and is the most fun I've had in a game this gen.

I throw them away to a storage room in my house and never play them again.

I don't trade my games even though I finish every game only once.



Kinda funny how I traded FFXIII and Devil May Cry 4 today ;P



"Life is but a gentle death. Fate is but a sickness that results in extinction and in the midst of all the uncertainty, lies resolve."

I buy games because the games are good. If I am going to trade them in that means the game wasn't worth my money in the first place so I didn't put the money down for it.

When I was younger, I sold my games to pawn shops. But I now collect and take pride in my games. I have bought most of my old ones back.

95% of my game collection has 0 scratches on any of the disks! (Including Xenogears, Haha haters :P) :D
