Yup. I traded a bunch of retro games that had been sitting in my closet, untouched, for a decade and walked out with a PSVR bundle (got $530 in credit)
Other people are taking advantage of their B2G1 free deal for used games and making trips to multiple GameStop's, flipping games they buy cheap at other stores.

To be fair the giantbomb duders said that nobody cares about crash.

giantbomb duders don't know anything
all they care about are guns and clicker games
in all seriousness though, they don't know anything about Europe
Good. The Crash trilogy sold like 15+ million copies on the PS1. People only stopped caring when Naughty Dog stopped developing it and you could tell the games were worse. But it looks like the public loves Crash, when it's good.
Now I just need CTR.

There were a few here that kept saying Crash has always been bad. I think the combination of nostalgia & especially price played a big role. Overall, it's a wonderful remake.
I'm sure they're losing money, but I bet their circle of life scores are through the roof!
Watching to get tips for my own relic run.

Wrong about commas, wrong about everything
As a European I can say that Crash sucks and has always sucked.
And deep down you know I'm right

He's Austrian, everyone.
You know what that means.
Don't mind what he says.

Look, I'm not saying you can't enjoy the games.
Plenty of people claim to like Sonic, so you're all in good company.
It's okay to like bad games.

I agree with you about Sonic
It has literally never been good
I think we can call a truce
is this a new meme or something?
I have a respect for the level design and the skill you can display in Crash (as opposed to other PSX platformers like Spyro, which I just find painfully dull in all of the ways) but it's always just been so unappealing to me. I've never liked the visual design, analog control is 3d games just barely works at the best of times, the goofy 90 degree camera angle. It's just all wrong.

Thing is, I could totally see whoever runs that Sonic Twitter seeing all of this.

I like how the beast crew all proclaim bottle service at clubs for "rich stupid people" after they all got through drooling over the idea of paying $80 for SNES roms in 2017.

yeah totally the same thing as $600 for a bottle of jack, definitely not a stupid analogy
The only way $80 is a bad deal for those games is if you insist on comparing that price to piracy, which is a pretty lame thing to do.
Also, it's still $520 less than the bottle of Jack that Dan bought.

Value is subjective.
Crash is fine. Let's save our hatred for Sonic, who deserves it.

Are you seriously comparing a $20 bottle of liquor being marked up thirtyfold to paying less than $4 per SNES game? With that comparison, I can't tell if you're defending Vegas's culture of excess or gleefully devaluing classic games.

Doesn't make the analogy less stupid

I'm saying everyone values things differently and it doesn't neccesarily make them "dumb".
