dont buy used games anyway


its not about if you buy used games or not, it's about the principle. you BUY a game it becomes YOURS. you have the right to sell it as you like


legally you aren't buying the game, only the license to play the game.  not really different i suppose then why you can't buy a single windows OS disc and install it on as many computers as you want ... because you bought a license and that license is for a specified (limited) number of devices.

...but as a business practise this probably has a more negative impacts then benifits.  i doubt it will in actually get used game buyers to buy new software.  ..more likely they'll just buy wii U's or xbox's instead.


ok but when i pay for a game i have the right to use it, if for some reason i lost my psn account along with my console i cant even play it even though i bought it. and dont tell me the chances of that happening are slim because it happened to me. and lets say i want to play it at a friends house, suddenly i cant?

If you lose your game disc or scratch it, you are fucked even more. When you buy a game you have the right to consume its content. The disc is the medium used to deliver the content to you, and you can do all you want to the disc, but the content was sold to you only.
