Do you ever buy pre-owned games?

Post » Mon Nov 24, 2014 4:37 am

As per title. Wondering how many of us buy pre-owned games these days. There seems to be quite a big market for them and I realise this is probably quite good for students, unemployed and people without too much money to spend. What are your thoughts on this? Are you against it and if so why?

I would but for the PC market there is not much of a market now since everything has to be authorized.

only on the occasion the game is older and can no longer be found new at a store..

Call me crazy, but I would much rather my money go to the actual Studio that made the game, rather than a store that just put a new price label on the case

It depends on the studio but since I only have pc that option is not really an option now.

Not often. I only buy pre-owned games if it's an old game that has gone up in price due to rarity.

To save money on games I just wait a few months for the price to go down and buy a new copy when it's like 50% cheaper.

Pretty much this! Unless I really want to play the game release date.
