Best way to buy Games ?

[Matricks]

Why buying games¿ if it can be still period downloadable free and crack3d, ok No multiplayer which I dont care.
The last game I bought was cheapest sealed Bayonetta 3 switch card ($18)as that wont ever be ported to pc, thats it.

And the Last time that I actually goes into any game/store was in 2017 to buy switch v1 for modding.

I wondered how long it would take till the Sailors on the open Sea showed up to this discussion.

Steam mostly, but CeX (not sure if it exists outside the UK) is really good for older games like PS2 era and stuff. I got the Yakuza 0, Yakuza 6 and the original Yakuza from there around May-ish.

E-Bay is alright but the pricing always makes me more cautious, especially when I bought OG Sleeping Dogs for £1 in CeX a few years back.

yeah the really became worse over the years I remember in my Childhood it felt larger and so did the Selection but nowadays its to bareboned and alien to me I sound like a old geezer but I miss the good old days.
Anyway the many umräumungen where also getting on my nerves

They've moved most things online but it doesn't work well. I've tried it. You have to wait days for the goods and the customer service is a complete disaster and a test of patience.

And the prices are not really good either and the Site is not that good
they should have let the things as they where like the saying goes if it is not broken don't fix it.
Media Markt ist vor die Hunde gegangen aber mir haben ja leider keine alternativen jetzte wo Gamestop auch weg is die hatten auch ihre probleme aber jetzt haben wir nur noch Media Markt und Saturn wo zu einander gehören.

Oh Gott der Gamestop ich vermisse diesen laden so sehr. Er war die Spiele Heimat!
Oh my god, GameStop, I miss that store so much. It was the home of gaming!

I think I just got lucky with getting my older Yakuza games from eBay a few years ago. Like, I was the only bidder on a PS2 copy of Yakuza 2 back in 2021

I'm doing both, pirate many games but also buy them afterwards. Some games I've bought 3 times after pirating them. I mean I'm playing roms all the time, of games that are in my drawer :D It still doesn't fix the issue of where to get originals with package, handbook and stuff when you actually want to get it. As others have already said, Gamestop is gone and our german stores MM/Saturn are mostly turning into get everything stores. I'm living in Hamburg and a big Saturn close to me offers Lego and other stuff. Granted, it also has a huge collection, but you won't find many discounted games that aren't the usual Fifa/CoD slop.
