EA Executive Admits Used Games Aren't All Bad

[saintdane05]

... EA? Are you feeling alright? Do you need to lie down, take some medicine? Cause you're sounding a wee bit strange at the moment...

Okay, these guys must be on the verge of doing something terrible if they keep spouting all this stuff that actually kind of has us liking them right now.

I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop.

I remember when EA came out with this

http://www.destructoid.com/ea-admits-it-blew-it-with-bullfrog-origin-and-westwood-69491.phtml

and then released Mirrors Edge and Mass Effect.

Things were looking up, Kotick was shooting his mouth off, things were looking up.

Today however

I'm not going to be taken in that you've changed again EA.

... huh.

(Damn you, low content rule!) It's surprising to hear this. The way they've been going, I was expecting EA (among others) to keep fighting used games sales until years after they realize they are seriously suffering from their policies.

My reaction as well. I'm not holding my breath here though.

Ah, I see EA has finally enslaved some decent PR guys.

looks like it. also nice caveat, we only like used games if that measn the guy will buy more of our games.

i guess we once again shoudl look at thier actions (origin) and not words (admitting they want us to tradei n old games so we could buy new ones). you know, this also fits well with "shut down servers in 2 years because everyone already sold their copy fo the game' strategy.

If EA keeps going on like this, they may end up slightly higher on my list than Activision. Still not that high mind you, but it'll be a start.

I think that's the first time I've ever seen someone from EA say something (anything) intelligent.

Quick, someone check hell to make sure it hasn't frozen over and that there isn't a giant astroid meandering towards earth!

I like this guy. Of course, being a PC gamer, I can't buy or sell used games anyway. [small]Fuck you, Steam/Origin/Uplay.[/small]
