This sucks, 3rd party will force Sony and Nintendo down the same path. There are quite a few games I played this gen that I did not buy but borrowed from friends. It is heart breaking to think that something that simple wont be possible going forward.
Why could they not just charge us extra for ps+ or xb-gold and then take a portion of that and pass it on to 3rd party devs vs. the method of adding additional hardware into each vendor store just to validate a used game sale?
This way if you want to buy used games or you are into trade and borrowing you have to pay an extra $2-$5 per month to have that option. Much better method if you ask me. It will also keep used games at a reasonable price vs jacking them up to $40-$50.
This whole thing is the definition of anti consumer, mom and pop vendors won't survive next gen.
