Local game shops would've low-balled him to death to get those games, just so they can mark them up. Better to dump them at GameStop who'll take anything game-related just about, than wasting your time arguing with an auctioneer.
A collection that size should have been sold piecemeal on eBay, no question. This dude lost a metric fuckton of money doing it this way. Gamestop blasting his antics publicly far and wide is just an added humiliation ritual.
If he's one of those people who are like "I just want these games off from me, I don't care" then yeah I'll side with him. But if he came into this thinking he was going to get a bargain, I'd agree with you.
Yeah I get you, but I'm not really trying to solve the issue. I'm saying consoles are fucked and the sooner people make the transition to alternatives (or learn to love Bing Bing Wahooing) the better off they'll be.
On the contrary, it got those damn kids "off my lawn" and out of the parks. And all those digital purchases fueled the "line goes up at all costs" investment strategy most of them cling to. Might even argue it was planned, or at least a happy side effect for them.
I aint clicking anything from that down syndrome looking retard. Dude looks like Dj Khaled's 47 chromosome cousin, Dj Special ed.
The difference is that Valve basically bruteforced thier way into thier dominance by forcing anyone buying thier games through physical discs to deal with Steam and all of the alternative PC storefronts/services from Games for Windows Live all to way to Epic Games Store and GOG are ethier shit and incompetent or too niche to matter, while the three big console makers introduced digital storefronts in the 7th gen and progressively tried to phase physical out to varrying degrees.
Valve gets away with it because PC competes with piracy. Gabe Newell said that piracy is a service problem, not a pricing problem, but if that was the whole truth PC games would be as expensive as console games.
