Volition's Jameson Durall says banning pre-owned games is "fantastic" [Escapist]

[Griking]

Microsoft would be digging their own grave if they did this. It would show that they have lost almost all their concern for their customers in exchange for profit. Not only that but it would give competitors an extreme advantage when it comes to marketing their next gen consoles. 'Hey kids! Would you rather buy all your games new for one time use with online verification or do you just want a disc with the data that you can share freely?' I think they are too smart to try something like this

Meh.

All it woulds take would be a few good games released and people will forget about their boycott. It happens all the time. How many times have we heard people say that they'd never purchase another product from Microsoft, Sony, Gamestop, Best Buy, Walmart, Apple, HP, etc... yet they're all as big as ever. I know that this will upset some people but the fact is that people are weak and will break easily. When it comes to choosing between their personal standards and a hot new game or a flashy new cell phone or some other device, history has shown that standards go out the window.

Edit: Not to mention that as soon as one console developer goes direct download only the others will soon follow. I have a feeling that both Microsoft and Sony are just kind of waiting and hoping that the other will do it first. They both want it but neither wants to be the initial bad guy
