Call me an asshole if you all wish, but if this is the practice they are going with now, then I am going 100% PC and going to only pirate my games.

I am sick of them thinking I should just bend over and take it in the ass. Shit, they don't even seem to have the courtesy to lube that shit up before they ram it in.



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

Currently playing:

Final Fantasy VI (iOS), Final Fantasy: Record Keeper (iOS) & Dragon Quest V (iOS)     

    

Got a retro room? Post it here!

Checking every 24 hours is unnecessary. Why not just check when registering a new game to the system?

What exactly happens if you dont check in every 24 hours? Are they going to lock you out and hold the content you payed for hostage as if gamers are criminals?

Because otherwise I could rent a ton of games (or buy lots of games and sell them later), install them, not connect anymore to internet and play those games infinitely.


How? If you have 3 games registered then there wouldnt be a need to check online because the games are already registsred on the system but if you brung a new game home, it would make sense to have to register it online because its new to the system.

 

I cant believe what im saying.. i'm actually discussing a police state gaming system..

Urgh, that still sounds horrible. I sometimes use Amazon to trade in my games I dislike (or have no interest in replaying) so this is a big no-no for me.

If Sony employs a similar method against used games, I'm just gonna stick to PC next gen and leave it like that.

Saw this over on NeoGaf

A gamer walks into a retailer and hands over the game they wish to sell. This will only be possible at retailers who have agreed to Microsoft’s T&Cs and more importantly integrated Microsoft’s cloud-based Azure pre-owned system into its own.

The game is then registered as having been trade-in on Microsoft’s system. The consumer who handed it over will subsequently see the game wiped from their account – hence the until now ambiguous claim from Phil Harrison that the Xbox One would have to ‘check in’ to Microsoft’s servers every 24 hours.

The retailer can then sell the pre-owned game at whatever price they like, although as part of the system the publisher of the title in question will automatically receive a percentage cut of the sale. As will Microsoft. The retailer will pocket the rest.

let me get this straight

if you trade in a game its wiped from your account? and you have to kinda re-licence it back if ever you fancy having a play on titles you had before?

this is bollocks TBH

im telling you now if sonys upcoming PS4 has a silimiar feature set then theres no chance il be purchasing either

what of the small indy gameshops? i can only imagine larger outlets going into a crooked scheme like this, GAME etc


Are you serious? when was the last time you sold a game, i.e no longer in your posession,  then was magically able to replay it for free and without the disc?

I don't think Sony will do the "check every 24 hours" things (even MS will drop that I think if enough people complain), but I have the feeling Sony is going to be forced to adopt this same policy more or less as well.

If I'm Activision or Capcom or Rockstar or any big or even small publisher ... this is great for me. Finally we get a direct cut of second hand sales and retailers still get their cut too.

You bet your ass I'll insist Sony have to follow this model too.

Not so great for consumers unfortunately.

sayin

1 - Buy 10 games.

2 - Install the 10 games. Disc isn't needed anymore to play them.

3 - Unplug your Xbox One from the internet forever.

4 - Go to Gamestop and sell your ten games to get some $$$ back.

But the games get wiped from your account when you sell them back.

How are people here happy that we are now handcuffed to retail chains or the console manufacturer for the products we purchased?

Do gamers really care more about the developers than they do about their fellow gamer?


This industry is so backasswards all around that it isn't even funny...

I'm kind of in the boat of not caring. I understand peoples fraustrations but it all comes down to money. The who reselling and purchasing of used games is just an attempt to recoup money spent on the game in the first place. Many people compare this to the PC market, I just hope that publishers and MS/Sony, start matching those prices. Or at least coming close.

I myself was confused as to why people so happily supported the used market. Want a game for cheaper, wait a few weeks and pick it up for 40% of its RRP. http://www.play.com/Games/PlayStation3/4-/31434667/-/Product.html
