The downside to your argument is that it's also not uncommon for games to be traded in to purchase new games. Only selling them on your own won't guarantee you the money you need to buy a game and not in time for you to purchase it with your friends. I am glad Gamestop no longer has an outlet for just used games. The credit could be used for either store, but it was more of a hassle to trade them in at one store, the go to the other to buy a game. Also, having gamestop sell used games simply makes access to them easier for everyone. The more places games are available the easier it as a consumer to find them.alinos said:I;m only against Used games, When they are sold through the same retail store that sells the real thing.
If you want to buy used games it should be through craigslist,Ebay, or a cashconverters(not sure of the american equivilant(or if there is one))
This model is fine, but limiting distribution to only the developers website is a sure fire way to not let your game reach a lot of people and not make a lot of money. There was a little jewel of a game released this way that I'm quite sure almost no one has heard of, it's called Gemini Rue. A great game, but you can only guy it through the dev companies website. They would lose a percentage through Steam, but would more than likely have made so much more money off of it.Still Life said:What I would really like to see in terms of distribution models, is one where developers launch their titles from their own server network. I believe Frictional did this with Amnesia, by having the game downloadable from their main site. It was also on Steam, but I think it highlights quite a bit more flexibility than traditional publishing models.
Well, you've got Halo and Gears of War, two games I'd love to own but can't. So I'm blasted too.Catchy Slogan said:shrekfan246 said:Snip.Thanks for the info. Too bad I'm on Xbox. Blasted!Soviet Heavy said:Snip.
Well, if you have a good enough PC you can get Halo 1&2 on PC and Gears Of War on PC aswell.Soviet Heavy said:Well, you've got Halo and Gears of War, two games I'd love to own but can't.

Funnily enough, those two series are the entire reason I own a 360 in addition to my PS3. Just bought Gears 3 yesterday, still haven't played it though because I bought Metal Gear Solid 4 along with it and the cut-scenes alone in that game will probably take me a week to finish.Soviet Heavy said:Well, you've got Halo and Gears of War, two games I'd love to own but can't.

Especially when films cost WAY more to make, and both the tickets and DVD's sell for WAY LESS than games.chstens said:This reminds me a bit of the old studio system in Hollywood early in the last century. Also, filmstudios and labels don't get to complain about movies and music being resold, why the fuck should game studios?

Stop using the car analogy, it's the only one I ever see and, to be frank, I'm sick of it. Get creative for once, people!ImSkeletor said:Thank you Jim for speaking the truth. It ticks me off that people say that I am as bad as people who PIRATE just because I LEGALLY sell my games and buy used games. Am I a bad person if I freaking sell my car to someone after I buy it?
First, the think for yourself argument is beautifully ironic. If you take a second to think about it.Mechanix said:Hopefully your video will change the opinions of the majority who are unable to think for themselves. And bravo on your capitalist argument; in my opinion, that statement about the positives and negatives of capitalism won the used games argument, and any argument from the other side cannot compete with that.
