Comment on How important is owning your own video games to you?

Not that much since I rarely have any interest in replaying a game, but then again I never buy them for full price, I only buy them very cheaply on Steam sales. I have no idea why anyone would pay $60+ to “rent” a game, I’d just ISO it alongside buying it in such a case

I feel like if you rarely have any interest in replaying a game, you would be the most in support for owning your games, so you could re-sell them.

I can spend far less buying a game on steam for 75% off compared to the old trade in for 25% of the sale price or whatever game shops did back in the day.
Plus it is still there if I ever feel like playing it again with no need to track or store anything on my end.

Since I don’t come from a culture of selling games that thought never occurred to me, when I was a kid we’d just share our games with each other, so I guess I never saw it as a source of profit, as an adult I don’t know if I would even bother with the effort of trying to sell a video game for whatever little money you could get for them
