Gaming Are you willing to buy used games?

I mean gamestop gives you 7 days to return games so you can test them out first.

GameStop is evil now. Back in the early 2000's I loved them but now. Nope

I don't play online myself but I'm not going to buy used games that have online features anymore.

That's good. Buying used games is the same as pirating games. You should never ever buy or sell used games. Support the developers and buy only new games!

The only game I've bought used was Sonic Forces, and the DLC code and coins hadn't been redeemed yet either. So I doubt many carts dumped will flood the used market. Probably less than 2% overall.

Agreed there for sure .

If the price is right, sure. Playing online using certificates from another game is a bad idea, Nintendo can tell the difference. But if it's a cartridge with the correct cert, I doubt they will ban you.

This only affects games that have online functionality (there are a lot of them but not all games require it) so you can still buy single-player oriented games like Zelda and Odyssey second-hand. Going even further, some online modes aren't integral to the gameplay like Odyssey meaning those games can be enjoyed without online features.

No, I am willing to download them tho

With all of this worry about used games, here is a question i don't think many people are asking. Maybe this question has already been answered.

Is there a special, button, pin or spring that is being pushed once a game card is inserted, that tells the Switch, a game card is physically in the slot?

Sure, we can spoof the system menu into thinking that a game cars is "ready" but what if Nintendo added a simple but effective layer of anti-piracy into the Switch, allowing it to verify that a game is actually there? I read somewhere that a person was able to rip their game onto the Switch but the console would block their rip from loading yet allow their physical copy to play like normal. Makes me think that something more is going on with the card slot.

With all this talk about games that have been dumped getting their certificates banned and playing online using certificates from other games are you willing to buy used games? I don't play online myself but I'm not going to buy used games that have online features anymore.

if they are in good condition and actually work yes though when it comes to retro games you kinda have to buy used or pay 5x the price for a new

 

[Reploid]

Used games are for pussies. If you truly poor, just download them like I do.

I missed Babbage's and Electronics Boutique in old days.

GameStop (formerly Babbage's) at mall in our area hasn't renovated since opened in 1986 so they use old counter, old corner white walls, old ceiling and much cramped, but the carpet has replaced about several years ago (it was old gray carpet before).

I love you! Electronics Boutique! Thank you! I forgot the name of that! It was in a local mall and I spent my whole paycheque on games when I was little.... Got home and got grounded for it ..... Sad times

Electronics Boutique became EB Games and is owned by GameStop.

EB Games is still available in Australia.

I'll absolutely by used games. If they are banned you can always go ahead and return them. I only buy through eBay and stored that offer reasonable return policies

...Your console would be banned, not the game.

There's a special place in hell for people who sell on games from which they have extracted the certificates.

 

[Song of storms]

I no longer trust the end user with used games, so no.
