Quoted from Elvishasleft:Huh?
Sorry its hard to hear with the constant drone of Wahhhhhh "life is unfair" and "what about my needs" that goes on 24 hours a day in this country now.
You realize that you're doing the exact same thing, don't you? You're just complaining about a different topic. "Waaahhhh, people are complaining about something that I don't think they should complain about! Waaaah"
You're such a hypocrite, it blows my mind.
Quoted from Elvishasleft:Really?
I would think owning 8 games and complaining you are somehow "priced out of the hobby" would qualify as more hypocritical but thats just me I guess.
It might not just be you, but you seem to be the only one who's carrying on about it.
Quoted from Kneissl:I sold my Taxi for 4. It's crazy. I'm already in the hobby so it's basically just horse trading, who cares if they cost more if you can sell your old horse for more as well, but getting started seems like a growing hurdle.
Agreed.
So here's my take, as a consumer I obviously don't enjoy spending more. Especially, when the price-jump is pretty large. But I get why Stern would do it.
It's funny, cuz used prices had finally gotten to the point where I decided buying NIB made more sense. Just got a JP Premium last week.
But now that NIB has gone up so much, I'll probably be going back to used games again. It's a funny cycle. Of course I've still got a Fathom and an UM headed my way, but those were you snooze you lose sort of buys.
