>>11189149>I get most of my games used or on sale or just pirate so I don't really do the math like that.Ok but that's you anon. Forest, not just the trees.
>I get that ultimately iPad parents (usually moms) are doing it because its the cheapest way to calm a child but its not great for children....Oh yeah I completely agree with that sentiment. I don't think this is the way things /should/ be, it's just an unfortunate economic result.
Going back to the whole thing where you get toys on sale, remember bins of toys on sale? They got a bad rep for being full of unsellable old toys, but I remember seeing still popular toys in them , 2 or 3 for $10 or less. That's about $18 now, but you'd never find deals like that these days. Maybe closeout stores.
