49 million American gamers buy secondhand

These details, provided by its creators alongside today's presentation, include the fact that 60% of gamers purchase both new and used titles, and that sellers (who make up a third of all gamers) tend to reinvest their money in the industry with new game purchases.

He retired from VG247, and the games industry, in 2017.
