> But if you play 20+ games and buy 0, I'm pretty sure without modchip it would even out at maybe buy+play 5 games.

This is absolutely absurd.

Look at the modern internet. "Free" is consumed at rates far more than 4x of "paid equivalents that existed before the free option".

Really?

It sounds pretty much right to me. Consoles have a typical tie ratio of around 8-10 games, and people who mod their systems (who, if anything, would skew towards people who would otherwise buy _more_ games) typically buy zero.


But people who mod their system might never have bought the system if that option wasn't available.
