Yeah, thats like someone saying "if i dont buy this item, theyll go out of business". Except unless you buy direct from the maker, you dont succeed at jack shit. Lets go with video games and then go with a place like eb games/gamestop. Now lets say destiny 2 (since its already mentioned; keeping it simple cuz idgaf to think of a different thing) Not buying the game from eb/gs doesnt hurt bungie. With eb/gs selling the game, bungie has already been paid for those games, and now eb/gs are upselling them to make a profit. If youre hurting anyone in this instance, its eb/gs since they need to move d2 to get their moneys worth. Also yes. Most games are not directed to jobless/low income people/kids. They wont make anything off of them. So, +1 op, someone finally cracked the system with smart logic. [spoiler]also also, you should still totally not buy this game except for online through digital download and fk eb games/gamestop over hard. Theyre a fkn joke anyways[/spoiler]
