Is this the biggest threat to gaming?

calm down lenin
The only reason why scalpers exist is because they are supported in the market. There is no state/corporate hand forcing these sales to exist.

If people had self control (which most do) scalpers would realize they cant make and profit, by the second wave of product

No, that would be the mutts.

Just wait, there is not a single game worth upgrading for anyway.

I have that x4 chill 3080, chinese cards are fucking trippy with their designs.

Tbh, I am having a difficult time believing that next gen title would struggle on even 2600 let alone 3600.
And yes, not able to get 100+ fps is not considered "struggling".

Just wait. Stock will be back in stock again. If you can't wait a few weeks, you're a retarded faggot.

Death Stranding

I have a GTX 970. I wanna be able to make these games actually look good. Plus I wanna be ready for the eventual VII Remake port

Enjoy not getting rich Zig Forums. Enjoy the feeling of hitting buy and finding out I've already used 15 different accounts to order it to 15 "family" members.

>Scalping literally only started existing this generation

If scalping is such a threat why hasn't it killed vidya yet?

user, quit sucking the socialist shit.

I'm definitely not upgrading for these lame ass games.

Sony did a great job combating it this gen with their direct PSN preorders. They should’ve tied availability to number of platinums.

>which most do

It should be legal to just rob these kikes gunpoint at meetups.

It's 1000 cad a pop here, with the fees I actually lose 2$ for each sales FB market shitnis best place to resell at the moment

This isn't entirely capitalism problem, but also a consumerism problem, where people feel the need to have shiny new thing NOW, helped by the internet, which is just filled with people showing off their new shiny goods, creating jealousy and demand for this. Mainstream and social media helped create this culture of "need new expensive thing"

Must be an easy life being a scalper.

Don't like scalping? Simply don't buy things from scalpers. Simple solution and no need to get big gov involved to infringe on the free market. Scalpers are people who have a profit centered thinking and are exactly what capitalism needs, you draconian "consumer rights" and crypto-communism disguised as feelings should stop no free citizen from enriching themselves. The people who want government intervention and corporate regulation are no better than Chinese totalitarians

Scalping is constant and harsh across all consumer products right now.

I run a UPS store - kill me - and about 30-40% of my non-Amazon volume is scalpers coming in to ship dozens of boxes of shoes (almost exclusively koreans who use various fake preorder accounts to purchase the entire inventory for sale at all local stores) or Supreme clothing.

They make $3-4k a month doing this, minimum, on top of their normal job. One Korean guy has five employees working out of his apartment and ships ~300 shirts a day with me.

Fuck scalpers. Fuck StockX. Fuck 'sneaker culture'.

Can't tell if you're baiting or not and that scares me
This is a long winded way of saying we should prioritize money and profit at the expense of everyone too unlucky to be at the bottom of the monetary totem poll

Unfortunately I can't stay up all fucking night and day to get something.

It's Capitalism.

Like, the artificial scarcity created by Capital to extract more money from you is why scalpers are even a thing.

so how do we make it to where scalping isn't incentivized

not even close
