| Fei-Hung said: i dont understand how anyone can compare video games sales to the sale of films and music or cars. the things are not possible to compare and these are the reasons why: 1) films make money from cinema, pay per view, satelite, terrestial, dvd, BR and cable sales. 2) music makes money from, cd sales, concerts, selling songs to be used as soundtracks and jingles, ringtones sales and apps such as itunes. 3) cars make money when sold, then make more money from car part sales, servicing of their cars and further services such as garages. video games make income from only one source. the sales of games! if we the consumers really give a shit about video games, how can we start cutting of the one income these devs and publishers have for their work? david jaffe wasnt saying he is against 2nd hand game sales, he is saying the stores who sale 2nd hand games should give a fraction of the profit to publishers/devs. considering these retailers are making 100% profit on some of the 2nd hand games they sell. everyone is being greedy, the consumers, the retailers and the devs and publisher. however, it is only the devs, publishers who have put their hard work, effort and time into making the product. |
Make a better product and nothing will be cut off
