Thought of the Day: Used Games
by TheKittyMan on Apr.03, 2010, under Thought of the Day
I’m not just somebody who jumps on the “I hate GameStop” bandwagon, but somebody who fully understands the business model and execution of said model. I see that it’s an essential rip-off and a sort of pawn shop scheme to re-sell a game over and over with almost no overhead on the products sold. Developers lose out money, can make numbers look bad, possibly has an effect on future products, etc. I get that. I even see some of the other side that it IS a legitimate business and GameStop are just doing what makes money. Capitalism at it’s finest. I also see the “other” other side in which smaller game trading companies (Level 1 Games ftw) get screwed over by a near monopoly of game trading as a whole, despite usually having poor service (except for my local GameStop… I know those guys and they’re good.).
BUT!
I love my “new” Final Fantasy IV for my DS. Wish I had gotten it from Muzz, but it’s cool.
