For the longest time, I've disregarded the idea of renting a video game. Mostly due to the fact that there's no more Hollywood Video or Blockbuster near me, let alone in existence. But then I actually for the first time ever, had an ad that was relevant. I got an email from GameFly saying it'd been years since I'd last used their service (2012, to be exact) and they'd like me to come back and see what's new for a free month trial.
And it's pretty great! Games I was wishlisting on PSN and considering paying $30 each during a good sale are way better suited to renting. $30 is a lot to gamble on something like Deathloop, and who's to say I'd like it enough to be happy paying for it? Now I've got Life is Strange True Colors and Deathloop coming right to my house, effortlessly, free, and even if I kept the sub, it'd be like the cost of a netflix sub monthly.
Do you still rent games?
