| CDiablo said: I often wonder what anti pirates feel about the used game market. If you buy/sell a used game it is as good as stealing money from a dev because you are not buying (or if you are selling not offering) a new game, the only person that makes money is the seller of that used game, which does as much good for the dev. |
No it's not, and I wish people would stop trotting out this argument. The secondary market may steal some sales from the primary market, but the alternative is far, far worse.
"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."
