Dacă vrei poți să spui și cu ”selling”, deși cred că e mai rar folosit:

”A sad fact of gaming is that the average release has a lifespan that’d make even a may fly sympathetic. The average game hits the shelves on Monday, the bargain bin on Wednesday, and by Friday, it likely lives on as nothing more than a fond memory and a few references on the geekier online forums. Publishers rarely do more with their back catalogues than try to prevent anyone distributing them, *stores don’t have the space to stock games that aren’t selling great guns*, and gamers, well, gamers are fickle.”
