Nothing stopping you from sending the devs a check, I came here to save money. Additionally, sounds like you're rallying for the retailers. Buy indie games if you really care.
The game was bought by GameFly and the devs got their money. You're advocating for getting rid of the used market for video games, at which point there's no point in physical media. This also means less opportunity to get the game at a discounted price for those that may be on a very tight budget, as there is less competition. By this train of thought, you should not even be buying games on sale, as the developer is not getting all the money they possibly could at full price. The whole purpose of this website is to get stuff at a cheap price where the consumer wins, not the retailer/maker of the product.
a) find me a time machine
b) that was a price mistake
c) go thread crap elsewhere

At these prices I would rather buy them new, so money can go to developers. Ghost of Tsushima is 40$ and TLOU2 is 30$ @bestbuy.

I'm a big advocate of GameFly, having bought many games from them in the past. However, I feel the deals from them lately have been lukewarm at best. As others mentioned, some of the prices they're offering used games at can be bought for new at the same price or even cheaper. Maybe covid added costs to their overhead, but I hope they'll be able to offer better prices again.

All of you have made very good points. It is my personal opinion to buy games new if pre-owned savings are not that huge. I don't recommend it to anyone else.
