Why we SHOULDN'T SUPPORT online passes.... and USED GAME MARKET MATTERS

I fully support the idea of the online pass. I even think $10 is too low, but at least a good start.

And people who say the game aren't worth to be played and therefore are being sold to others, just read more reviews if you're unsure, play the demo or play it at a friends house BEFORE you make the decision to buy it.

It's not the developers fault that you fell for buying a game that you don't like, it's YOUR own fault.
And everyone who is defending their own mistakes by blaming others (devs) just cannot admit that they were wrong from the start and try make themselves feel better by doing that.

Gamers who don't support this are simply selfish.
Bitching about paying $5 more for a new game and supporting the industry.
We are all gamers. We should unite, so that we are guaranteed to get games in the futures, but the ones who only buy used are the ones who put the knife in our back.

Also consider the following, because I'm sure that many of these people are also the ones who think that gaming is too expensive. It's total BULLSHIT. Gaming is as "expensive" as always and furthermore it's even the cheapest form of digital entertainment. You're getting more for your bucks than going to cinema, buying DVD/Blu-Rays and buying music.
We are very lucky that the prices are how they are, because many of them should (not that I hope they would) actually be much higher.

We're not selfish. We know our rights. And the logic of paying for online services is absurd, because these services are paid for at the initial purchase. One copy of the game goes out into the consumer environment. However that copy changes hands, that's still only one copy of the game that's using those resources. We end up paying them money that they've already told us they don't need.

 

And it's highly pretentious to preach to people about what they should and shouldn't do with their property. They want to sell it, it's their business, that doesn't make them uninformed

We should unite. Against this. Any other action is merely free advertising for a horrendous plan crafted by a few sneaky executives
