"Have you ever heard of the term "you break it you buy it"? If this happens, I would assume that you get to keep the product you broke, correct? I borrowed a video game that I ended up damaging to the point where the game did not run smoothly anymore. I felt bad, so I bought my friend a new game. When I gave him the new game he wanted his old one back as well even though I just bought him a new one. Should I really have to return the old game?" So what is your thought? Would  you return the old game as well?
