"Developers are not selling discs, they are selling entertainment experiences. It's only right that they be able to charge per experience given"

So what you're saying is that we no longer are paying money to actually purchase a game. Rather we are spending 60 (or likely 70 dollars for this generation) for an extended rental. If this is the case count me out.

Haha you lost respect when you compared a first party and third AAA with mobile 1 dollar games. You can't be comapring temple run series, 4 pics one word, Epic swipe game, angry birds,  and many other games liek that to halo 4, uncharted series, God of war, tomb raider, TLOU, Heavy Rain and more. You sir desevr award for being a comedian :). The games made for mobile games are for casuals and we all know casuals don't play alot and wouldn't care or even know teh difference between  a good and bad games. Games you get on handheld like DS and experiences are different. these were made for on the go. you would not get uncharted games on DS. Not really, good games like Project gotham compan ygot closed and it was a good game, Enslaved didn't do well, Lost odyseey didn't sell well despite it beign an awesome JRPGS.  Well Uncharted woild get better sales if everyone bought it and wasn't allowed to leach right?  Don't get why people liek minecraft as its very reptitive gameplay  and as for COD that game is and FPS for teenage casuals ,, no offence to those who like it. I have played them all for achievement points. The thign why should gamers not progress with technology and move forward with graphics just because gamers who are stingy to pay for games suffer? Even to get better gameplay ,, you need better ai , more dynamic landscape all that cost money as machne gets more powerful budget will go up. Actually mine craft with mods looks quite nice. Oh i can spell, but i am too tired to check. if you can understand me then its good enough for me. rme.

Oh i did read it and i wanted to post that. I could have corrected  my spelling typos. 

"And 3rd i'm sry but WHO THE HELL are you to say who should game and who shouldnt just because of a certain "socioeconomic" class, that shouldn't exclude them from the gaming experiences that we all enjoy, now I understand that if I don't make as much I won't be able to enjoy as much as someone earns more money but NO ONE should be excluded from gaming because of there economic backround" 

Are you telling me that peopel who can't afford the basic necessities in life wold think of gaming? You sure about that lol. What i am trying to say that peoeple who can't afford to ea t, drink , who live pay cheque by cheque would not have gamin on their priorites list. They woudl focuse on how to support themseles , fmaily , childrens education adn so on. Piracy if kept on going would have killed gaming in tghe long run. Its simple if you lend a friend to finish the sp cmapaign and then play the multilayr then its one loss of slae, you multiple by nillions of peopel whoho do that--- well you can do th emath as to how much dmage it does to companies. The DRM is to prevent doing that. Its time gamers pay games at full price or if not wait till it get discounted.. Used and second hand games should not exist

kk well i can barely understand you, and im guessing English is not your first language. Your logic is faulted with the whole piracy idea because guess what ever since there have been video games there has been piracy and guess what .... Piracy hasnt killed the industry *gasp*. And when you have Developers In the Gaming Industry openly going against DRM then i think we realize that it is all about GREED and not about Surviving Piracy. Also i think the average Human knows where their Priorities lie such as family, education, and for themselves to live, The way you stated it made it sound like Poor people have no buisness in gaming.

And just one more fault in your Logic, I BORROWED the game called Metal Gear Solid and guess what? I loved it so you know what I did, I bought every Metal Gear Game Since, but if I never would have borrowed that game then guess what? I would have never Spent the Hundreds of dollars I have on that series.

I think its pretty clear the OP was one of the people hired by Microsoft to create positivity and defence of their policies

In a sense, can you not argue the same thing for other markets?

- Anti-Used Car Sales policy is good for drivers.
Reasons: Car companies like GM is doing bad and losing money, they need the profits from used car sales to be competitive and to give us what we want. We WANT the latest technology, the new models, the best deals but it's hurting the industry. Why do you think we aren't seeing new models but small changes to their current models. These companies are not selling physical cars, they are selling an entertainment experience of BEING in a car and convenience. Remember driving is a privilege.

Yes, not a perfect comparison but imagine if it comes to that point. I am sure people will defend the car companies just like you are.

1) If you want to make it like the app store or steam... then be a true form of it. Don't make a hybrid form that doesn't have the full advantage of the digital stores like app stores or steam.
a) Advantage of steam that isn't in the xbox (as far as I know):
1. Some steam games can be played off-line far longer than 24 hr check-in.
2. The price/sales of Steam doesn't compare to digital downloads prices on XBL
3. Investment. I can play on my current PC, and even if I upgrade. If I upgrade to xbox2, will it be playable?

For example: If I bought a FULL price of a car, I CAN do what I want. BUT, if I lease my car from the dealer, I know my limitations. But the prices of FULL price vs. the cost of LEASING, makes it feasible for me to give up that right. In that sense, I buy a digital download for a CHEAPER price or even FREE digitally, because I am willing to give up the some rights to ENJOY the experience for fractions of a cost. Now, if I pay FULL price, $60, I want to have rights to do what I want without breaking copyrights laws.

If I am BORROWING the license to play a game, shouldn't games be based on "renting prices"? Do I need to buy a license to sell JUST the product I bought? If I buy a heart monitor for my father, does that product have their own license? YES. But I can still sell it because as long as I don't infringe on copyrights law, I BOUGHT the product. What is this non-sense?

Maybe the developers like GM, are in a bad state because they made crappy products. Don't BLAME the customers. I see this type of mentality in ALL gaming forums. "Well, customers have right" / "Yes, but gaming industry is different". It's this attitude of 'suck it up" or don't play. Hmm, maybe PEOPLE are actually doing that ....."not playing-->not buying" Oh, I do see the problem, people like you always allow the industry to have too many SPECIAL excuses.

CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIP & RELIABLE PRODUCTS will keep the gaming industry going... just like any business. Let the XBOX PR, defend themselves, we are our own PR.

Rules of trolling:

If argument falls apart, change argument completely.  Repeat as necessary.   Throw in an lol.

I have a feeling this topic is made to troll and nothing more. Because it can't be serious.

Gamestop's business model certainly is a problem.  However, punishing the average Joe consumer to deal with Gamestop is an exceedingly poor decision.

Not to mention if people are buying less games new, which they will and waiting for price drops, then the publishers are jsut going to be back to the damn drawing board, becasue they will be making less money on each game sold. Wonder who they will blame then?
