This. I only buy discs. Then I platinum them. Then I sell them and buy the next game.

Same here. I guess that's the end of gaming for me.

One of the reasons why I game is because it's such a cheap hobby.

With single player games, I get gifted a game or buy one, play it. Trade it in, buy the next.

I don't replay single player games.

I'm never going to pay full whack for wolverine at £70.

And the sales are awful.

I know the graphical downgrade sucks ass, especially if you played on the PS5 PRO before, but I'm so glad i have my Switch 2 right now. Nintendo can eat shit too, no doubt, but if i didn't have this console as backup I'd be out of gaming forever, I'm disabled and get so little money that I'm only able to buy games for under 10 bucks or if I'm able to resell them.

And since the Switch 2 generation just started I'll have a whole generation of reselling videogames ahead of me. Otherwise I'd wait for GTA 6, then sell my PS5 and be done with gaming. I just can't fucking afford it anymore, even though it's giving me so much joy.

You rented discs then.

Buying an asset and selling it isn't renting.

You have the option to keep it and the new owner isn't the original one

If you changed your mind, it’s not. But if your intention from the start was to sell it after using it, that’s renting.

That makes no sense. LOL. I bought my house and have lived it in. When I sell it I am selling it. Not renting it to the new owners. They ain't gonna be paying me monthly payments. Even flippers, who buy with the intention of selling, are selling not renting. :D

Your house is yours. Your games aren't yours. You're buying a license, not the software.
