People dont buy a car then take it back 24 hours later.

Then those devs should add more replay value to their games so people don't find the need to dump them off so quickly.
Start shifting the blame where it belongs.
iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.
Currently playing:
Final Fantasy VI (iOS), Final Fantasy: Record Keeper (iOS) & Dragon Quest V (iOS)

It's not usually because some people buy the used titles instead of the new titles. Anyhow, I could care less if they block used games. 1.) I'm not going to buy either of these consoles and 2.) I never buy used games anyway. (I only sell my games to get the new ones. ) |
Who's gonna buy your used games if no one else can play them?
And OP...no. Consumers don't owe companies anything, it's not our duty to keep them in business.
Is this the worst thread ever created? Possibly.

Haha yeah, that was a bad analogy on his part...

Yes on cheap gamers. People dont argue about movies and that is 2 hours of entertainment. Games are usually no less than 6 hours.The industry is quickly becoming owned by AAA games and indie games. Nothing else has a chance to be successful anymore. And unless a game has good multiplayer most games struggle to go beyond 1 million because of used sales even if they are of high quality.

Or maybe the gamers should do their homework and spend their money wisely on only the games they absolutely know they will like? Yes, there will be letdowns still, but the average gamer that goes out and buys used games on a regular basis is typically the type that has very very little knowledge of those games, their reviews, etc. They are much more "casual" and just play games to play them.
Maybe those gamers should start making much more educated buying decisions and buy less games, to stick with NEW games that they really, truly want to play.
I also refer you to my original reply to this thread regarding how blocking used games can have a positive affect, or how the console gamers are the last of the gamers that even have used games, yet you don't hear the other gamers out there complaining.
Bollocks.
I suppose next time I jump into my second-hand car I should feel guilty because Ford lost out and I'm not 'supporting the company'. The games industry is the only one in which fans feel we should all bow down to the companies providing the content like they're our best friends.
They're businesses, they sell products, and we have the right to sell them on, share them, buy them second hand, like any other product in any other industry, ever.
Well then, couple years down the line, I'm looking for some games.
I notice that they have this 1 game for cheap that I didn't have the time/money for at the time.
There are no new copies, because they stopped shipping them.
I'll take the used one then. (Exactly what I did with TWEWY and Metroid Prime)

ONCE AGAIN. People dont buy a car then take it back 24 hours. Ill just add that to the OP since you guys keep wanting to bring it up

No, but a 10 year old car hasn't lost that much value than a 10 year old game. Cars are probably more often resold used, because they have a longer lifespan and many gamers tend to keep their games.
