| cory.ok said: buying/selling used games probably hurts sales more than pirates do. the people selling and buying used games have shown that they are willing to spend money while many pirates are not. also how do you even describe a pirate? if i lend a game/movie to a friend its not pirating, but when i send the same thing to the same person over the net it becomes pirating? at what point during the file transfer is it labeled as pirating? |
People that constantly get pirated copies would count. People that pirate even five dollar games would count as long as it's constant.
As for used sales, the best options are a) games people want to keep, thus reducing how often its sold, and b) making lower prices for minor games more common, such as how Nintendo charged just $20 for Brain Age, thus reducing holdouts for the lower prices of used games.
A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.
