they are a luxury good
if you just want to play a game just buy it digital like a normal person

Owning your games is a luxury now?

Supply and demand. Once a physical game stops being produced, its price will only go up as demand increases. The only reason this game is still up for sale is because its price is so high. If it were lower, someone would have snatched it up by now.

You don’t own them even when they’re physical. You don’t read the EULA’s bro.

Here’s an example, you may own a physical copy of MHrise.
But you’re only allowed to use the data until 2099 or something to that effect.

It’s like modern discs being pass-keys to use software downloaded to your machine ala ps5.

For all intents and purposes it's better to think of all LRG exclusives as inherently digital-only releases that just so happen to have a FOMO scam version aimed at retards that you don't have to buy.

>ever not have scalpers

>>713376919 (OP)
Because nobody buys them because the digital versions are usually cheaper

No, you're allowed to use it indefinitely. What you're not allowed to do is make copies of it and sell distribute those copies on Usenet.

gotta pay for the right to own your game
remmeber when publishers used to tell you that games cost more due to production and shipping cost and that digital would be much cheaper?

Imagine buying a poor remaster of the worst version of the game when the PS2 version is easy to come by.

I hate those faggots so god damn much it's unbelievable.

>>713378581
Why even do that?

Unironically blame Limited Run Games.

Senran Kagura Reflexions is the only Limited Run game I have. And it’s only because VGP reprinted it and made it available as a normal purchase. Thanks, VGP.

>people care about physical games, honest!.
>keep using Limited Run Games which has had several releases that were terrible. One possibly killing your console and another where they just printed it off a regular CD-R.
Really, if you are buying from Limited Run games, you really don't care about the quality of your physical games and are actively killing it much quicker if you aren't supporting a better alternatives.

limited run games is retarded and SEGA is fucking retarded for partnering with them
the demand's clearly there so they could easily print more if they actually gave half a shit about preservation like they say they do but they don't, what they really care about is short printing games so the owners/employees and their friends can flip them on ebay for personal profit
scum ass company
