| IllegalPaladin said: While I'm against Gamestop selling a slighly used game for only a few bucks from the total price, I don't like these new attempts at stopping used game sales by the publishers. Any bets on how long EA will keep the online up for this game? Maybe a year or perhaps two at best? |
Why are you against that though?
I mean think about it... where do those $55 dollar used games come from? It's not like gamestop magically conjures them from the ether.
If there are a bunch of $55 dollar used games out the first week a product is out... it's for 1 of 2 reasons.
A) A bunch of people who bought it.... didn't like it, and therefore sold it back and got like half their money back (if not more.)
B) The game had such poor replay value that the person who bought it was done with it in a couple of days and god back half their money.
Those $55 dollar games are for the benefit of people who buy games they don't like.
This is a pure trojan move though starting with sports games... and it's smart, because nobody gives a damn about sports games... I imagine the used market is way lower on them then other games anyway.
