Rage Cuts Single-Player When You Buy It Used
- Thread starter Mike Kayatta
- Start date
how is this so much different though? to me this doesnt really seem like punishing people who buy it used, it seems more like rewarding people who buy it new. this is certainly better than what other companies have tried (capcom, im glaring in your direction)Himmelgeher said:
They want to make money because they spent 7 years working on rage
you'll all making a mistake over something so irrelevant ... something that they just use to make up publicity - id Software has not been in contact with the community for A LONG LONG time and tim willits appears to be using a too consoleish approach. I treat those as mistakes and move on - i have made several threads about this in official RAGE formus.
escapist community is one of the weirdest about RAGE - nobody else talks like that - completely baseless.
Raging over stupid day one DLC who cares about it - I NEVER buy ANY DLC at all unless i can get it at retail - and im not paying 15? for some 5 maps and 3 stickers and 2 skins - bullcrap.
And in RAGE's case this is not first day DLC at all - this is a pile of irrelevant info.

AFTER THIS NEGATIVE FALLOUT THEY FINALLY CONFIRMED RAGE IS USING STEAMWORKS FOR ACTIVATION - NO ALWAYS ON DRM.
And for once and for all - get into the REAL SOURCES of information - escapist has the MOST DECEPTIVE articles i have ever seen - the titles are ALWAYS wrong! - appears like some editor is doing bad stuff on purpose.
You can get the PC version for 26 GBP that's like 30 EUR and 41$ on Amazon UK - that's not just a deal - that's a STEAL.
The PC version will get modding tools as well as super-quality texture packs later.
Stop raging over misinformation. The mainstream media is the sole source of misinformation.
Do you want to know what was the TITLE of this article at first: "Used RAGE has no Singleplayer"
I have no idea how could that happen on mistake.

at least in Bad Company 2 if you bought it used you get the four maps in multiplayer people like to play rather than pay and get them all.CrazyMedic said:
I'll just buy the game used and download a crack. After all, as long as you own the game, it's not really piracy, at least as far as the courts are concerned.
Then they should fucking punish GameStop, yeah? And the attitude is "I can't afford 60 dollars, but 40 or 20 won't break my bank." Selfish? Consumer rights. We don't have to buy the game, they're lucky we're buying them at all.Scizophrenic Llama said:
Is this 17 pages of entitlement - I haven't read it all, but I bet at least 90% of it is?
FFS - it's pretty simple. Don't like the way ID are doing business then don't buy the game. ID does not owe you anything, but they do have something they want to sell you. Make a choice. I've made mine and have this on pre-order. Market will decide if this is the ""thin end of the wedge" or not based on sales rather than nerd whining.

This is not free dlc. It's similar to it, but it's cutting stuff that's already on the disk. DLC is stuff that is not on the disk, hence downloadable content. And it doesn't discriminate against used buyers, but people don't have a way to connect their console to the internet too. Maybe you should try thinking before you make yourself sound like an idiot.Piflik said:
For the analogy to represent IGs actions, they wouldn't be cutting the breaks as that disrupts the cars main function. Instead, they are refusing to give you the car's floor mats, warranty coverage, manuals etc. Which is what happens with second hand cars in real life anyway. If you buy something second hand, the original producers of that product shouldn't be under any obligation to hand you the extras they offered the original customer.ImprovizoR said:
The bottom line is, if you didn't give them any money, why should they be doing anything for you?
It is not on the disc. Everyone has to download it. As I said, read the full interview. Willits clearly says that it is an incentive to new buyers and that you have to download it.Himmelgeher said:
but since everyone here seems to be too lazy to click on the link in the article, I'll quote the relevant part here:
Maybe you should start reading before you call other people names...
I didn't think it was possible... But I care even less about this game now than I did before....
I still don't get why everyone is suddenly so bent out of shape. EA's been doing this for years now, especially BioWare (Stone Prisoner, Cerberus Network and the Emporium in DA2). Hell, they even fucking sold a companion in DA2 on day 1, not even free for people who bought it new. They were obviously cut out of the main game to encourage new sales, this isn't anything different. So why are all of you complaining about it now and not then? Oh wait, because this site loves BioWare. Never mind.
It will be clear sooner or later - they just aren't speaking yet - Carmack is allowed to say what he wants on QuakeCon and i have repeatedly said that might be another one of those "out of context" stuff -- we are not sure what he meant - bethesda is quiet.qwerty19411 said:
But the modding tolls will be available at release or very shortly thereafter. That's all.
You guys can all guess what you want ... but peliminary analysis shows that those are going to be some pretty hardcore modding tools - not your average day in the park.
I am the OP on that link. The thread is being constantly updated.
