    There are people listing GBLE for 10k and don't even have the game yet. What's weird is that some peoples' responses have been "Hell yeah! Get what you can for it!". I hate scalpers and that's all these people are. And if you look in these for sale threads there are many others posting things like "if anyone wants mine for 9500 pm me". Why support this? When did flipping and scalping become OK?

    I've also seen comments of people claiming they will sell their spot for RZ for 10k. Damn scalpers. Hopefully no one is buying these games at those prices. We've seen limited run pins like TronLE go up in value, but never before anyone has even played it or even touched it.

    Is every new release going to turn into, "Can I make a profit off this game if I get in early?". That is just no fun. What's with all the greed? Is this the new normal?
