Edge reports durango to block used games!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[LordsOfSkulls]

As someone who has been using Steam for nearly 10 years to buy new games, nor makes a habit of trading games in, I don't really see a particular problem with this. What all this anti-used game trend seems to be geared to is pushing players to buying digital downloads over physical media. Because undoubtedly the NEXT general will be discless. So you better get used to it.

See the problem is that Steam is Awesome... but technically speaking it is Used games.. (But Developers will get Some Profit out Of It)

It just one filed copied 1000s of times. and Sold. Their no difference between Steam's user copies other than randomly generated CD Keys. You cant steam games are "Brand New, Like New, Very Good" cause this dont exist.


They also sale alot of their games for prices even lower than USED Games go anywere on the market. While i dont mind seeing prices to get that low to get money to the developers for brand new games... problem is the Middle Man "Best buy/Gamestop/Wal-Mart/Ebay/Amazon/Glyde, etc etc etc"

Wont make any money thus unable to run their business.

Especially during Summer/Christmas for Steam their are Sales... that can get you off brand new games 30-77% off.. that is HUGE. I got over 100s of Video Games on Steam just because how cheap it was... I spend over $500 for $3000+ worth of GAmes in last 2 years. That is something that even "Used Game Market" will never be able to do.

So if developers want more money, and want people to buy brand new copies more, lower the prices, put that price tag of "39.99 and 49.99" You dont need the Eye Candy people are tired of the Eye Candy.... They want the Awesome Taste (Gameplay) cause that what it all about, not Just to Look Good, But to taste good as well.... (Reason why people ignore Cherry Falvor and go for stuff like Apple/Blueberry)

Is what costing the developers most money/time. PS2/PS1/SNES era is still considered one of best Eras because we didnt have DLC, we didnt have that many games that were 2-8 hours long, we gotten more worthy product/better quality on those systems than any today. We have too many companies go for clones, cause they still sell well.. If your tired of COD... dont buy it religiuesly everyone of them that comes out each year.

Not to mention games lose money now so fast... that $59.99 game especially if it a AAA title will get 10% to 50% price cut within next 1-3 months. (makes it even worse for consumer + angry cause they buy the game for $65 and later in 31 days goes on sale for $33 and you lose money
