Comment I'm not worried... (Score 1) 543
Most of the games that I buy on Gog.com, GamersGate.com & Steam are between $2 - $10, I couldn't care less about trading them or selling them on. In thinking that I spend hours, if not days playing these cheap games, in comparison to a cup of coffee which costs $3.50, I've got nothing to complain about. Further to this, I still have all my games that I've collected as a kid. In that I've never sold any games in the past, why would I start worrying about doing so now?
Further to this, I've noticed lately that I'm finding myself too lazy to rummage through my box of old floppies & CD's, and instead I'm simply repurchasing my favourite games of yesteryear as a download. Total Annihilation, Constructor, Rise of the Triad... The install, the patches, the compatibility hacks are all automated, meaning that once the game's installed I don't have to fuck with it for 2 hours to get it running on Windows 7 64-bit.
TLDR;
I paid the internet $10 to download and install my favourite classic games that I already own cause I'm lazy. But hey, I have games to play, I'm a busy man! I don't have time to rummage through storage boxes!
