Went through some my outstanding challenges in pokemon home because I felt like clearing them. Two of those require transferring up a mon from ruby/sapphire/emerald. So I went to a local game store and a loose emerald cart costs... $280 CAD?! No thanks - I'd rather put that to a switch 2.
Still can't believe how much a used game from 2004 costs. It's not even THAT rare, this store had 4.
For reference, a switch 2 costs $700 CAD brand new.
The entire #DRM #Enshittification for #UsedGames was so bad, #Sony execs who were next for the #PS4 read the room and recorded this perfect dunk literally #backstage that still slaps Don Mattrick's face for all the right reasons!
💰 Still taking store credit?
We paid $58.26 cash for Pokémon LeafGreen.
GameStop offered $10.50.

This reminds me of the mockery Sony made whilst Microsoft announced the #DRM-based restrictions on #UsedGames for the #XboxOne they then pulled black...

You'll note the price sticker on Borderlands doesn't match the 10 NOK I paid. There were 2 boxes for 10 NOK in the #usedGames section, but the guy behind the counter couldn't find the disc to go with them. Eventually he grabbed another copy that was already in box, which still had a 149,90 NOK price sticker; but I got it for 10 regardless. This one actually came with instruction booklet and DLC code, though unfortunately the voucher code expired on 14/10/2016... yay #DLC ><
