Re: Sony to disallow resell or renting of PlayStation games after initially supporting it
An interesting idea I read once was to only allow resale of games after a certain time period (a month for example). -
Re: Sony to disallow resell or renting of PlayStation games after initially supporting it
I'm sure he has no incentive to make up numbers, especially when those numbers are purely speculative. There's no evidence that they lost anything and the range he gives is so large that's it's pretty obvious that he has no idea. The hens should never ask the wolf advice on how to avoid becoming his dinner. I'm pretty sure… -
Re: Sony to disallow resell or renting of PlayStation games after initially supporting it
Personally, the only reason I buy used games is cause of the price. And if Sony and MS take Steam's example with digital download games, that will cease to be an issue for me. I'll hate to lose the "cool" looking stack of games on my shelf, but it'll be a small price to pay. Especially if they keep a full library of games,… -
Re: Sony to disallow resell or renting of PlayStation games after initially supporting it
Its interetesting to think about the shift in what people are always whining about about "every game is the same, there is no new innovative games" that would be because publishers want to actually make their money back they have to look at market leaders who have huge day 1 and initial sales surges to try and win over… -
Re: Sony to disallow resell or renting of PlayStation games after initially supporting it
Now you are being silly, the examples is about selling a used product that you bought, there is no difference between those examples, the only difference is that Gamestop has got up and made it easy for people to do it. I don't really see why you are so against seeing its the same thing, except maybe because of a dislike… -
Re: Sony to disallow resell or renting of PlayStation games after initially supporting it
some decent points from both overlord and snacuum. I think the thing that burns my ass and why i get soe hearted is is that this is a forum for game devs and seeing so many posts latley that are straight out of the uneducated kotaku/ign comments section being tossed out on polycount left and right is brutal. which kind of… -
Re: Sony to disallow resell or renting of PlayStation games after initially supporting it
But consumers like to be able to resell things, the consumers we serve should be happy with their purchases and service. Using your rhetoric I should be in favour of any and all business practises my employer uses to make money, no matter how unscrupulous; because it keeps me hired. Also I apparently shouldn't blame those… -
Re: Sony to disallow resell or renting of PlayStation games after initially supporting it
Cars aside, name anything where the creator receives second hand sales. Why is the game industry so unique that they deserve a cut of second hand sales? Parts sales are not a good example either btw, since I can buy parts from many suppliers, where none of that money goes directly to the OEM. It is a fallacy that used… -
Re: Sony to disallow resell or renting of PlayStation games after initially supporting it
I'm going to say it before anybody gets the wrong idea. PC gaming were not always "ok with no used game sales" We used to be able to trade/resell PC games easily. It fell out of fashion due to a variety of factors: none of which included any desire by end-users to shirk used-games and buy new to support the devs. The first… -
Re: Sony to disallow resell or renting of PlayStation games after initially supporting it
Well, I think they're missing out on an opportunity. They should create other goods/services beyond what already exists to create new revenue streams. As for EA's project $10. That was evil because it didn't make new copies more appealing, it tried to make used copies less valuable to the consumer. To beat the car analogy…
