Do I Sexpuppen Kaufen like Bambola del Sesso it? The answer is no.”
Hayes also says the second-hand market is something SEGA will keep an eye on, but does add, “I think ownership of hard copy is still something that the consumer wants.” True. And since games do go out of print, the second-hand market dovetails that retail need.
