These big companys are swimming in money and the market place for gameing is fine as is.

"But after the outrage and negative feedback from gamers regarding the Xbox One, Sony quietly reversed its policies, finally revealing at E3 that the PS4 will not feature used game DRM. This is according to none other than SCE Worldwide Studios president Shuhei Yoshida, who admitted the policy change in a recent interview with Japanese publication Famitsu.
Sony deliberately kept their cards close tot heir chests, and waited for Microsoft to be the first to announced a used game policy and price. Then Sony had the freedom to adjust. When Sony revealed a $399 price point and no DRM at E3, it was met with a minute-long applause from the crowd."

Well, my thought like I said, I own the copy, I have all the right to sell it. Imagine if Hyundai puts a lock in their car so it can't be resold, and if a person purchases it they have to pay a fee to Hyundai themselves so they can turn the car on. Or if I want buy a house that is already of someone and that were made by a construction company, I buy the house, but to get the keys to live in it I have to go to the original company that builted and pay 20,000 USD to have the keys. I think in media, mainly physical media, the same way. |
It won't happen. Hasn't happened with games. Hasn't happened with movies. Hasn't happened with music. The law only gives you the right to sell, not the tools, which is up to the platform holders, which they will never give you. There will never be a day where laws force platformers to create a meta marketplace within their own marketplace specifically so that consumers can better excercise their right to resell their digital games, because that's rediculus.

i completely agree. if developers want to keep people from selling their games, they should probably try to focus on making something with replay value.
i'm happy for that kid from who i bought Dead rising 2 special edition with pen and steelcase for 5 bucks so he can reinvest those 5 bucks into a new game..

and for the record, i dont fucking hate sony. as i said to another user in another thread, I have PS 1/2/3 with a combined 250+ games for those systems. I dont have a PS4, will probably get one eventually, I just don't like the way they are currently handling things. same goes for MS. I am allowed to disagree with what they're doing with the PS4 while still liking their earlier products and not hating them as a company.

so you shouldnt be allowed to pay money for something that somebody else bought, and at the price they want to sell it for? that is an interesting set of ethics.
| Ka-pi96 said: Used market is great. It does fuel new game sales with people able to use money from trading in games towards them. Plus there are plenty of games I wouldn't have played without the used games market. It also makes consoles worth owning after their successors come out since for most older consoles it's just not possible to buy new, they don't make them any more, so used is the only way to get games you don't already have on them. |
i agree 100% with everything you said here. and still find it amazing that you have people here who think the industry is actually better off without used games. better off for who, exactly? i guess these guys would think it would be better if consoles like the 360 and PS3 were rendered completely useless in two years time. If there were no used market, there would be no place for these consoles besides the dumpster. Unlesss you're emotionally attached to your hardware and you want to keep it on a shelf to look at. Still would have no functional use whatsoever. That is not the kind of future I want for gaming at all.

You know that can't happen, right? Like, that obviously can't happen. No company in their right mind would create a controlled digital ecosystem nessecary for a digital market place, only to relenquish that control to consumers and allow them to make that money instead. Publishers like digital because it kills used games. They aren't suddenly going to bring it back. |
some people already do it now, they set up an acount for a single digital game purchase then when they are done sell the acount. Thus "used" digital games.

And loop holes like that will always exist, but there's no way that method will ever become as mainstream as the current used game market is. It's too much convoluted work for too little reward.
