   I buy games that I am exited about new too, because I want them to be in perfect condition. Some other games that I have heard are too short to be worth the new price tag I buy used on Ebay (because gamestop offer horrrible deals for used games). Games that I have been excited about and ended up disliking, I can always sell, because they are mine and I should be allowed to, so that perhaps some other gamer that don't think the game is worth its price tag but still want to check it out can buy it. So far, I don't dislike any of my games enough to be wanting to sell it, but do you really think robbing people of that freedom is right? If I didn't own my games, I would quit gaming. I guess I'm not hardcore enough to support such practices.

 

Unless of course you buy certain PC games, which you can't resell once you've activated the cd key. I know you're a huge Starcraft fan and don't see this as an issue, but if I buy Starcraft 2 and dislike it, I have zero recourse for getting my money back. I'll have my blizzard.net account or whatever and that's it. Same with anything on Steam. So why is it apparantly okay for PC games to do this while console games adhere to another standard?

Don't bring up Blizzard game quality because that's not the issue here. You said I should be able to sell games I don't like. There's a double standard I'm having trouble reconciling with you being a Blizzard/Starcraft fan and preaching for the resale of games.

I don't like what Blizzard are doing with SC2 (No LAN, Bnet2.0 is more of a "platfrom" etc). It's not very Blizzard-like. I have been complaining about Blizzard a lot these latest years.

For me, SC2 is guaranteed to be the best, or second best game I've ever played, but to other people, not being able to truly own it is unfair.
