Re: Used Games
I think the one-time DLC cards are retarded. I already paid $60, so I don't really feel like I should have to enter a code to get what I already paid for. I can understand your concern TGZ. Frankly I think the current game design philosophy is over, and we are in for a major shift in how games are made again. I hope that… -

Re: Used Games
But that point would always be at the point of purchase, Steam is very resonable when it comes to offlining, such as when you drag your laptop or something away from the net, you can just pop into offline mode.

And from the sounds of it psn+ will lock them to your account, meaning if you stop paying for the service any games you've downloaded will stop… -
Re: Used Games
TGZ: Do you place any blame on the video game rental services then? Because if they are buying the games, then renting them out to people, you're losing even more sales (based on your statements). Honestly, I don't think that's why the industry is losing sales. I think it has more to do with price points. For me (and… -
Re: Used Games
What I mean about rehashes, is when they take a franchise, and just keep making sequels (ie; Halo). That also includes Assassin's Creed. I like the AC series, and I'm find with them making more, but it seems like that's the only thing coming out these days. New versions of Halo, sequels to AC and Gears, or variants on Lego… -
Re: Used Games
Hooo boy, here we go... Bullshit. Nearly every industry in the world can sustain itself with a used market but somehow games are special and need special rules to fight off the EVIL free market? No, that's the industries attempt at oversimplifying its problems so they an easily point their finger at one universal cause for… -
Re: Used Games
I guess pretty much everything coming from ea and ubisoft is considered AAA. For me however AAA means nothing good. -
Re: Used Games
Don't see the problem myself with Trade-ins, just like everything else that can be resold. All this scapegoat crap come from pure greed, its never enough! Also you can trade in Digital Distribution copies now: http://www.mcvuk.com/news/37245/Green-Man-Gaming-offers-trade-ins-on-digital-games
