@leonkfox When I buy a game, I only have two concerns. Getting a good game, and supporting developers who make good games. 90% of the time when someone buys retail, they're buying used, which means the only thing they're supporting is the store they bought it from. None of that money goes to the people who actually made the game, as your youtube guy pointed out when he said he'd only stock used copies of RAGE, and laugh all the way to the bank while doing so. Personally, I've seen far, FAR too many good developers go bankrupt even though -used- copies of their games were selling really well. I will never buy a used copy of any game again, unless it's an old console game and there literally is no other choice. And even if the game is available new, I will still prefer digital, because the developers get more money that way. And if I think it's a really good game and want my friends to try it, then I have no problems buying copies for them, because it means more money for the developers.
