Every video game I played growing up I played secondhand. I pawed through the bargain bins in high school, looking for games that I'd heard about. I got most of my own SNES games from a single lucky church rummage sale haul that, in retrospect, probably broke somebody's heart. I borrowed games from friends. I didn't have money for new games until I was out of college.

It makes me sad to think about that going away. I'm sure there are a lot of kids out there today that can only afford secondhand games.
