Notes from Chris
Episode 2125
A young caller is taking inspiration from their older brother and is learning about side hustles. Awesome! Naturally, they also have a question. Video games, like from Nintendo or Sony, used to be sold in cartridge or disc form. You’d go to the store to pick it up, or you’d order it online if that was an option. But over the past decade, more and more games are delivered digitally. There’s no packaging and no waiting. Sounds good except for one thing: there’s also no resale market, because the game companies control their downloaded content. Can anything be done?“I heard that you used to resell video games, and I have a question.
