It's not costing additional bandwidth if you sell a game. Lets go through this step by step
I buy a copy of Battlefield 3 on a system, that's one slot using up band width.
I sell or give away my copy, the person is now playing online instead of me. No one was added, just moved to another...
I know what a CD key is, but it doesn't limit me from playing parts of my game. Just the whole thing, which is fine because when I transfer my game and key to someone THEY CAN USE IT TOO. If I did that with a online pass nope EA you have to buy a slot, and now they have slots for two players...
Ok once you can eat me on that never touched a PC game bull, look at my profile, you will see something their called STEAM. If you click on it to see my profile you will see I own about.......130+ games (I don't know why it says I own 198 games). So I refuse to listen to you anymore since you...
I liked the last part because I never hear a new story about publishers blaming pirates or second hand games if the game sold well, only if it sold poorly.
In the future when you sell books second hand half the pages will burn away like magic and if you send the author 20 bucks plus a 20 page essay on why you want to read the book the pages shall come back.
So I guess Atlus lost a lot of money from me because I had to buy all my SMT games used for the PS2, damnit I'm such a bastard. And it's not a lost costumer when someone buys it used, BECAUSE THE LISCNE TO PLAY THE GAME WAS TRANSFERRED. Oh god I can't believe people don't realize this yet. It...
Soooo why not pay monthly fees. I mean that why even those who bought it new can help pay to keep the servers up. Although most of the people who are going to go against this are hypocrites, because they are thinking now "Hey it won't effect me let those people pay for extra also to help for...
Nice try, I don't care when EA shut down servers to a game I play. I just move on and play something else. And I'm not stingy with my money (I am buying the Augmented Edition of Dues Ex, and the 60 dollar box for Disgaea 4 so eat me on beating stingy, and I just bought a new copy of Radiant...
So punish those who buy it used? Yeah that's fair, I mean WoW does monthly fees and people seem to love it a lot. I'm just saying I can't take the "server" upkeep excuse seriously when EA can just charge for monthly fees from those who play that why they can drop this project 10 dollar facade...
Still doesn't explain a single player game like Mass Effect 2 pulling that stunt. I still have my code in my box to show people it's just a scam. And again if server upkeep is a problem just drop the pretense and charge monthly fees. We both know fans of the series will pay for it anyway.
Hey look someone gets the whole problem with these logic, selling your copy passes your license because someone ALREADY BOUGHT IT. It's just EA dipping their stinking hands in the second hand market.
No I refuse to, you guys are ok with project 10 dollar and one of the reasons is for "server costs" as you guys like to put it. So EA should do it, I mean if the used buyers 10 bucks to get access to online helps with servers. Just think what service you would get with monthly fees? I mean...
Well you said it yourself, they do it for server costs. I'm just saying if they want to really justify it as a server maintenance cost they can charge a monthly fee for it. Because as I see it right now this is just a way to make it so you can't sell your copy of the game you bought. Making...
A lot of fan's aren't stupid enough to run out and buy something the moment it hits (at least I hope not). A lot of my friends who are fans like to wait to see what game breaking bugs are on a game. But by your logic I guess fans of capcom games shouldn't complain when instead of making DLC...
