Kasz, the reason why most of the moron on this thread that see it as a good thing look at it by thinking about the buyer of used game, not the seller. What they fail to see(most likely due to advanced mental retardation) is that by screwing the used game market they are actually screwing the seller(the consumer who buy new) not the buyer of used game -Afterall if there is no used game market that market has no consumer so if you kill that market which consumer is the most hurt? The nonexistent one or the one who actually buy the game new?- by reduction the value of what he buy.
It is say that a car lose almost half it's value the moment you take it out of the dealer parking lot, in the same way that game is going to lose 15$ of it's value the moment the buyer put it in and unlock that content. Again, in this scenerio, which one is the most hurt? The actual consumer or the hypothetical used buyer?
That why no other "industry" is dumb enough to get rid of the used market, because the people hurt the most by its dead are the one who actually buy and pay full price for your product. It doesn't take a genius to figure that out.

Oh god another one talking about other markets like they are the same as the video game one. Nearly all other markets have used good that physically are inferior to new ones. Video games are not, a used game in 90% of cases is as good as a new one.
If people stop selling games used people will have to buy new ones. It is that simple. Don't pretend like they won't, most used games cost only a small amount less than new copies. It isn't like used games are incredible amounts cheaper. In UK a new game is £40 and used copy £35. From what I've seen Gamestop in US is $60 new and $55 used, people will cough up the extra 5. I'm sure you'll say something like ebay is cheaper but it is retail stores like these where the majority of used games business is done and where the hurt to the gaming industry is.
edit: By the way calling people morons and mental retards is very cool, honest. |
You do realize you've just ruined your arguement here by saying from what you've seen most people will cough up the extra 5 dollars.
I mean how many sales do you actually think are made for 55 dollars compaired to new sales?
