| L.C.E.C. said: I hate to tell you, but GameStop and eBay ARE giant corporations who don't care whether you live or die. GameStop's HQ is probably about 30 minutes from where I live (around Dallas), and all any major corporation really cares about is making money or making an imprint on society/making a name for themselves (usu. less of the latter). If you think about it, GS and eBay are stealing profits away from developers, so who is the villian in all of this? So the guy who figures out how to build his own '98 civic out of air by looking at his friend's with some magical device (similar to a PC), should they get money for that? I know it's not possible, but that's because physical analogies are incomparable and useless, but that's basically what the anti-piracy stuff is saying... |
Gamestop and eby users have every right to that profit. They arent stealing it. They are buying low and selling high. Just like any decent business does. While gamestop might be a giant corporation, the people that work there certainly are not. If they don't make quotas they will lose there jobs. I would rather support them by buying used. It helps keep the employee their job, and I really apriceate the service gamestop offers. I don't see EA or Konami setting up shop down the street to sell me games.
