Is this breaking a New Year's Resolution?

If there is a resolution to "not buy any video games this year" (i.e. to save money", is it broken by purchasing games with gift cards? The majority consensus will be honored.

Yes it is.

It's not breaking a resolution to stop buying them to save money. The gift card is already paid for, presumably by someone else and was a gift? You aren't spending money from your pocket.
Buying a game from a gift card that you got as a present is ok. So is downloading a free game.

not to buy ANY (key word) includes BUYING WITH A GIFT CARD--the payment mechanism was NEVER part of the resolution. Rather it was not to make ANY PURCHASES in ANY WAY.
Therefore, YOU buying with a gift card IS BREAKING THE RESOLUTION. However, if someone else BUYS FOR YOU AND GIVES TO YOU ** AS A GIFT**, accepting such a gift is NOT breaking the resolution BECAUSE YOU DID NOT BUY IT, even if it was bought USING YOUR GIFT CARD (technicality)

The gift card is money that was already paid. You might be making the decision what the money was paid for, but you aren't spending money now. The money was already spent. Not really "buying" anything. It was already bought.

The distinction will come from "Am I paying for this game out of my own personal funds?" A gift card seems to not meet that distinction.
