!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.
Our Rules:
1. Keep it civil.
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.
2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.
I should not need to explain this one.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.
Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

this is why, if you won’t pirate, you should buy used 😎
…your games will still cost 60$, probably more, but hey the money’s not going to nintendo i guess
Why would used games cost more than new ones?
because the nintendo games that people care about don’t really drop in price, or at least not significantly
if you’re lucky, you might find a popular switch game used for 50$ 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
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?
