i don't understand why people getting high and mighty about rental or second hand games,it 's not crime to do that or is it? i don't know.
i like playing games (but not as much as i used to)and rental or second hand games are good sense to me if gaming is your hobby. have you guys not seen how much a new game (not indy) cost nowadays? and add some more if you have multiple gaming platform.
Not sure if you mean the industry or the Blue's crowd. The industry is just mad because they don't get a slice of that pie. You get to sell it once, sorry. Most of us don't like Gamestop because, well, they rip people off. Used games are supposed to save you money. Charging $5 less for a used game than for a new game is ridiculous.
Speaking as someone opening his own store, it makes more sense to charge less and do a higher volume of business. We won't make 300%+ on used games, but we will hopefully see people buying more because they can get 2 used games for the price of one used Gamestop game. (Also, there isn't a Gamestop closer than 40 minutes away from us, that helps.)
