| Gamegears said: I will repeat what I said from an earlier post.. it's a big deal because gamers can trade in their old games.. and get new games.. this helps for a series that gets updated yearly.. It's a big deal because sometimes.. you can get games that just came out for a little cheaper.. but in actuality for the most part this is counter balanced from the trade ins etc. but where it can hurt.. is if someone decides they are not going to pay full price for a basic upgrade.. (Maddens Etc.) so in the end.. it is greed.. andwhat not on developers side.. in addition @ DJEVOLVE The cost to produce a game has went up.. because publishers basically wanted it to.. by asking for new or more powerful tech... the cost of games on store shelves however?? Apparently you were not around when Legend of Zelda was going for about 2- 300 bucks a copy.. :O all the more reason the used game market needs to be here.. |
When the industry is skating on as thin of a profit margin as they are, and one miss can make and break a studio, it is beyond greed. YES, there is greed, but the rest is due to need. Production costs rise, in an arms race to outproduce other studios out there, and also a wanting to be like Hollywood.
