    Because scalpers expected this to be in demand after the news broke and set their bots to buy every cheap copy by unknowing private sellers in order to create a oligopoly and heavily gauge pricing

      But isn’t the whole point to play a burned copy of the game?
      This seems like scalping concert tickets to a concert that allows you to copy tickets in the printer.

        No, the legit copy of the game allows you to play pirated copies of other games. It bypasses the piracy check in the console and allows you to swap discs to a pirated copy of whatever other game you want.
