Why do people assume sales will go up without second hand sales?

@Euphoria, It wasn't the sole reason why some studios closed but it was without a doubt a major factor. Devs get 0% of that money for something they made! MS is giving them a cut, that shouldn't be a bad thing.

It is a bad thing when all of this comes at my expense.

Your pre-ordered PS4 expense? Right... It has no expense to you or most people on these forums. I'm not sure about you but apart from the few MS fans and CGI quality, I can't think of one Sony fan who intends on buying an Xbox ONE.

What car do you have? Please, let me tell you how shit it is and how you shouldn't have bought it.

LOL, is this really your argument? When I say "my expense" I am speaking as a gamer. As a gamer why is the "solution" one that positively impacts everyone other than the gamer? Why is the "solution" one that negatively impacts only the gamer? They are blaming YOU for everything and YOU sit here and agree.

Them going out of business is NEVER the gamers fault. It is the fault of those companies making boneheaded decisions and paying the price for it. We are not here to pad their stupidity with extra cash so they can make more boneheaded decisions.

 

Now, just to clarify, are you comparing the XBox One and it's anti-consumer policies to my car? If you really wish to know though, it is a 2001 Mitsubishi Galant that I bought 8 years ago and now has 138k miles on it and stills runs fantastic. When I feel I actually NEED a new car, I can actually sell it and get money back! Ah, the beauty of owning something.

 

I also never told you not to buy the XBox One. I am just voicing that these policies and their excuses for them are bullshit and many agree with me.
