Just to show how ridiculous that sounded.
I especially disagree with this part "You as a consumer are 1/3 part of the industry. When you buy used and are pro used, you are damaging another 1/3 while giving extra to the other 1/3. "
Customers are 100% of the industry. If there was no market, there would be no industry. Customers should not serve the industry, it's the other way around, the industry should ALWAYS do what its customers want.

its not about "Serving" its about "Supporting" your favorite game makers.
its ironic you of all the people would say this and you are a pro sega fan  , didn't you see what happened to the dreamcast? , used games are the same thing as pirated ones, developers don't get anything out of them.

Protection against piracy is not the same as trying to get money from the used games market. No other medium tries to do that, why should games be special?
|
What do you get when you buy a used car? A used table? Or most anything else used? You get something that is of noticeably less quality than new.
What do you get when you buy a used game? The same exact thing as a new game.
|
What do you get when buying an old music CD or an old movie? The exact same thing!
What do you get when buying antiquities? Something that's way classier old than new!
Sorry, but I fail to see the point. I ask again, why should gaming take away freedom from its consumers when other mediums do not? Games are not special!

I agree on CD's and movies and I'm sure if they could find a way to nickel and dime you, they would. As for the antiques, that's the dumbest argument I've ever heard.
And I'll ask you this-- why should sellers have the ability to provide whatever content they want for however much they want taken away?
