Proles are always selling their used crap to each other, it’s an entire separate economy. That’s why they’re always bleating about ownership and whatnot. If they buy a $70 dollar game it’s a big deal and they want to be able to sell it back after they finish it.

I would like to trade in a game, sure. Totally different from Hardware. Proles like to feel like they’re doing something Decisive. Trading in this console (losing his entire digital library?) for the other one. Idk, they like it.
Physical games helped keep game prices down. People play games, maybe to completion, and then never play them ever again. Being able to sell them is what kept used game prices so low. Ubisoft is famous for $5 games now but fewer physical games will push prices higher over time. People misunderstand the State of Game Prices. In the 2000s, my reaction to $50 was like “cool I’ll never fucking pay that unless it’s Kojima.” It’s not $70 in 2026 vs $50 in 2000. It was $50 for the best day-1 purchase games and like $10-20 or Rentals for the others.
During covid I bought a used ps4 on facebook marketplace for $100, chick selling it had 3 toddlers in her messy car and told me how she needed the money to buy diapers. It came with a bunch of games all shooters and sports titles, so I think she was selling her ex boyfriends console. I texted her later and said I could send her money for diapers in exchange for nudes and lactation vids and she sent them and I never paid. I have never once played the ps4 idk why I even bought it
They were really poorly lit and grainy and indistinct due to her having an android phone. I refused payment after consulting with my rabbi on proper protocol
