Why GameStop Wants Your Used Games So Bad

By Dr. Evelyn Thorne | January 01, 0001

It’s common knowledge that GameStop is reliant on the used game trade to stay Y1 Games afloat, but

if you ever needed Y1 App hard numbers to put it in perspective, here you go. Releasing its latest quarterly financial results, the global games mega-retailer has revealed that the sale of pre-owned games and hardware Y1 App

Y1 Game accounted for 47.4% of the company’s total profits.(new Image()).src = Y1 Game

Makes it easy to see why the battle over “online passes” and “project ten dollar” is such a heated one, doesn’t it? Take away those trade-ins and GameStop goes bust. [via MCV]

I won a small jackpot yesterday and it was really exciting! The thrill of winning real money keeps me coming back. The website feels fair, and payouts are processed promptly, which makes me trust the platform even more.

The bonuses are nice and offer great value, although they could be a bit more frequent. I love being part of the VIP program, which gives me extra rewards and makes me feel appreciated as a loyal player.
