What, Duh: "Second hand games and the rental market needs to be stopped..."
With all this new-gen floop and whee flapping around, that quote above is the tone on a few game industry sites these days, ladies and gents. The quote is from this thread:
http://www.gamesindustry.biz/article...from-the-brink
and it's been the feeling of quite a few folks on the developer and publisher side for a while. I won't add my four cents here, as I'm tired of reading this and other comments (such as people who buy used games being called "WORSE than pirates" or "thieves" for what many of us do on a daily basis. Feel free to chime in with thoughts. Me, I'm tied up in tinkering on my dinky lil' site (fanboydestroy.com), so I'll only pop in from time to time and check out what you're thinking.
Fire away (but don't shoot the messenger!).
Oh, and HI. I'm (kind of) back...
EDIT: Derp-ola: fixed my site link... heh. Stupid "b" key is acting up again. Er, come up and see me sometime?
