You could just make bigger and longer games. Then again they already do.


I said it before but I hope PS4 and NeXbox blocks used games.  As long as they both make the commitement together their shouldnt be a backlash from the community.  Sony has been shady about the situation and Microsoft hasn't said anything yet but I'm hoping if one does it the other does it as well or it will be useless.  I'd like them to be 100% honest about the situation.  

Blocking used games would be so stupid.  Almost everyone I know funds the purchase of new games by selling the used game that they no longer play.  I can guarantee that the people I know, including myself would buy far fewer new games if we couldn't sell our used ones.  Also, again, people that I know tend to take more chances on games that get iffy reviews figuring that if they don't like the game, they can sell it to get most of their money back.  Anyone who thinks that used game sales is bad for the industry hasn't thought it through.

Having a video game system that blocks used games is no different than a DVD or Blu Ray player that blocks used movies.  Think about how many fewer movies would be sold if people couldn't rent them.  I personally rent tons of them that I would never buy if they didn't allow rentals.


People that don't buy new games aren't helping MSFT or Sony out anyways.  They aren't making money off of them.  As I said a few people will complain but they will buy them anyways.  

Also used movies arent sold next to New movies like they are with games.    People dont buy a movie and then take it back 2 hours.  Doesn't work that way.
