I support the gaming industry so 95% of the time I buy my games new. The other 5% are specific circumstantial situations. If you're a true gamer, you'd buy your games new, too. And if a game is too expensive new and you don't "have to" have it now, just wait for a price drop. So anyone's move (including SONY's) to push against used games is not an issue with me and shouldn't be for anyone else. |
So you're saying, that only true gamers bend over to the game companies and puts up with their bullshit?
If game companies don't want used game sales, they should start making games that people want to keep. Usually the games you see on the used game shelf are games that rely only on wow-factor in the first playthrough. Sadly, most games are like that, but that's the devs fault, not customers.
Selling stuff used is present in ALL businesses. The gaming industry isn't entitled to escaping from that. They are just coming up with excuses to dissmiss the fact that their games are losing appeal.

Didn't you just said...
"Developers that makes gams that people get tired of and sell are not worth supporting..."...?
Now, I think we can all agree that no publisher/developer is perfect. And according to what I just quoted from you, we can conclude some companies are worth supporting. And how do you support those companies.... BY BUYING THEIR PRODUCTS!!! If you are truely so noble by not putting "up with their bullshit," then get out of gaming! That solves that problem, and it helps solve the problem of making other gamers look bad. And I never said anyone cannot buy or sell used games. And you CANNOT tell me and the rest of the world which companies are worth supporting and which are not. So any companies I support, I support them by buying new so they can continue making the games I think are worth supporting. People should respect you for the companies you support so you should do the same for them.

If you buy a product, you expect to be its full owner, it's the same thing with all products. If you own something, you can sell it at any time, because it's yours and you can do whatever you want with things that you own. Game companies fighting used game sales don't want people to own what they have bought, they want to force people into keeping the game that they have bought even if it has no value to them. Don't you see anything wrong with that?
I buy games that I am exited about new too, because I want them to be in perfect condition. Some other games that I have heard are too short to be worth the new price tag I buy used on Ebay (because gamestop offer horrrible deals for used games). Games that I have been excited about and ended up disliking, I can always sell, because they are mine and I should be allowed to, so that perhaps some other gamer that don't think the game is worth its price tag but still want to check it out can buy it. So far, I don't dislike any of my games enough to be wanting to sell it, but do you really think robbing people of that freedom is right? If I didn't own my games, I would quit gaming. I guess I'm not hardcore enough to support such practices.
