What happens when I speak up my mind

I just replied to a thread like this on another site, so I thought about putting them here as well (updated :P)

1. Have fun with the game! That's pretty much a given but it's surprising how many people don't enjoy what they play...
2. There's no hurry, I like to take my time with my games. I usually play 1-2 chapters/episodes/stages and then switch games, I don't play a single game for way too long. (only exceptions to this rule could be multiplayer online games, but in a lot of games

And if you try to contact them and ask what's wrong, they just ignore you... I think that's wrong. If you're so close with somebody and ...

I have a specific rule when buying games, and it's about the game having its original box, booklet and cover in at least decent state (and the disc/card, obviously), otherwise I'm not buying it no matter how cheap it is.
