Thing is, they are stuck with the sucky games, and it's pretty much an impossibility to make money off of the used market, due to the high costs of development, and/or publishers standards, which seem unfair to retailers. Of course, publishers want to cut out retailers. They want to force people to pay full price for their games, and they want to sell more copies. It's not greed, that makes a public entity want to make more profit at the expense of an industry designed to help them distribute their merchandise. However, it is greed when a single person wants to do so, at the expense of the consumers, just to spite said distributor. Jaffe is a huge douche, and he always will be. There is no denying that. In this case, he just so happens to have turned his douchatude towards your wallet, and can't wait until you have to shell out full price for his block-puzzle DMC clones or his Mario Kart ripoffs. I wouldn't take a game with his name on it, if it had a 20 dollar bill inside the case. I've always said that though, this is nothing new for me. |
And that fact alone makes all of your other (sometimes rational) arguments invalid in my mind.
