    this is why, if you won’t pirate, you should buy used 😎

    …your games will still cost 60$, probably more, but hey the money’s not going to nintendo i guess

        Because that’s the price that (most) customers are willing to pay for them 🤷

        But, if you account for inflation (using the BLS website ), $50 in Jan of 2011 is equal to a little over $70 today, so a $60 used game is kind-of a discount?

        because the nintendo games that people care about don’t really drop in price, or at least not significantly

        if you’re lucky, you might find a popular switch game used for 50$ instead of 60$, but that’s about it

        and if you’re going for retro games, it’s even worse. the retro games that people care about cost a fortune, pokemon is a good example
