| BenVTrigger said: The idea of being against used anything is the most absurd thing I've heard of in my life. Willingly throwing away your consumer rights so mega corporations can squeeze even more money out of you. Sounds like a great idea. Used games aren't negatively impacting the industry at all. In fact it fuels new game sales. This is 100% proven. If developers are struggling then they need to fix the REAL problems in this industry. Huge overbloated budgets and waaaay too long development time. |
This is my opinion also.
I'm not going to argue it though, I'm heavily into civil rights and likely biased to that area so doing anything like connecting to a server to authenticate my game, even if it's only once is unacceptable to me on a moral level. I wouldn't go so far as to boycott anything over it though unless it was more than a minor hinderence to my life etc.
I really don't think it's possible to force a profit share for used game sales with developers/publishers except with taking the drastic measures MS are with the Xbox One. I'm surprised at the negative outcry from members here the last couple of weeks over the announcments, from members who have been noted for supporting such a profit share.
These same members have happily discussed throwing away their civil rights with regards to telling me that the only reason someone would want a hacked console that enables homebrew is for piracy etc and like to put themselves forward as whiter than white in that regard.
I ask those people, considering that MS is now basically enabling a profit share for developers/publishers, should that idea not be supported by them?
Think I'm kinda repeating myself here though.
