Why can people get away with horrendously overcharging older games
I don’t care how popular a game was, there is no reason a game that came out over a decade ago should cost more than twice as much now, and it especially shouldn’t be more than games coming out right now.
#i forgot that another reason why i dont play pokemon aside from my personal qualms with the gameplay itself#is that i cant fucking find a copy of black that isnt a bazillion dollars#i bought black2 without realizing that it was a ‘fake’ copy#the game works fine but i cant transfer my pokes to bank#which is important to me cause if im gonna play pokemon games then i want my babies in home at some point#i dont wanna just leave them in the game itself and never see them again#so i need a legit copy of black so i can transfer my pokes there then from there to bank and from bank to home#(specifically want black so i can get reshiram since i got zekrom in black2)#but as i was saying i cant fucking find a legit copy of black#people on ebay want close to $80 for it and theres no fucking way im paying that much for a game that came out in like 2010#pokemon games coming out right now are $60 and thats already a lot#the pokemon games for 3ds were like $30 or $40 i think#theres just no way im paying $80 for a game that old#not pokemon but i had this same issue trying to get ttyd too#thank god its getting remade this year cause otherwise i never wouldve gotten it#people are charging like $50 or more FOR THE CASE ALONE#not the game. THE FUCKING CASE#i do not give a shit how popular or amazing or ‘ahead of its time’ a game is#that is just fucking robbery#i am so filled with visceral rage right now i can barely express it#the ‘you had to be there’ culture surrounding gaming is sooo frustrating i cant express it#its just soooo hostile to new players and im losing my mind#king sad sack

BIG agree with everything you said.
(no, I don't care how good a game is, I'm not paying hundreds of fucking dollars for it, you dirty fucking scalpers. why should I when emulators exist?
and sorry I was literally not born yet or too young when this mAsTeRpIeCe of a game came out so I wasn't fucking able to play it)
WHAT DO YOU MEAN 3DS POKEMON GAMES ONLY COSTED 30 OR 40 BUCKS???
