With how long most games are, why would you redbox them?

Pretty much all the ones I finished this year were single day games. Morning to night, then I dont return to it.

Yeah I don't think there is any way really to rent games now besides those services that send you discs through the mail?

A shame. Definitely some games with 10-20 hour campaigns I would like to play over the course of a couple days and return, but oh well. I never took advantage of it while it was around anyway besides back in the blockbuster era when I was a kid.

A lot of games have 10 hours campaigns. Easy enough for a weekend marathon.

if you wait a little while you can buy most games for the price it would cost to rent them, if not less

I feel like Gamepass might also have a hand in killing it too, thanks to it people who have it have tons of games to ay and get new ones every month.

I fucking hate Nintendo when they do this, games from 2014 are still 40$ ON SALE.

Yeah, thats for a day but really rent Saturday morning and turn in Sunday night and you basically get two days for $3 which is enough for most campaigns if youre not playing RPGs or something. They commonly have coupons of some sort too, so usually its even less than $3.

Or its 3 nights for $7 which is like four days, but Im more on the one day rentals.

Wasn't their selection lousy anyway?

A lot of games are pretty damn short now.

Which is the kinda hard part, especially because I can't justify paying $50-60 for games half the time I won't even start. Honestly, the rental system works better for me because the limited time frame would encourage me to start playing right away and get through games.

Hey, wait long enough...

I think I paid about $3 for Batman Arkham Origins and Uncharted 4, as well as a bunch of other games.

That happened like around the beginning of the year. I remember because you could also buy the games and the were being clearanced out.

They were, but I don't think that's the entire reason they stopped.

Sometimes, they had new games. So, it just depends on which games you like. Like they had Spider-Man pretty early. And that was a good game...

I also bought it instead of renting. I was tempted, though...
