!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.
Our Rules:
1. Keep it civil.
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.
2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.
I should not need to explain this one.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.
Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

Why do people forget that in 2011 you could have bought a used copy for $19 and even less with a trade on of a game you already finished? The digital market is not the same.
They just need to introduce consumer protection legislation to force allowance of resale of digital items
Careful, NFTs lie that way. /s
The issue is, it sounds like a complicated mess in terms of figuring out exact legislations, implementations, patent and licensing rights, who's responsible for facilitating the actual resale, and ultimately it's gonna support and legitimize shady resellers like g2a selling stolen copies.
It absolutely will
