My respect for them went down considerably when they said that buying used games is as bad as piracy.
Sorry if this derails the thread (and Jerykk shows up) but...
It is, it's (arguably) worse.
Yup. From the perspective of the developer/publisher it directly correlates to lost sales, unlike piracy where a download doesn't tell you shit.
If someone goes into LameStop and buys a used copy for $50 instead of a new copy for $60. That's a ready and willing customer that, in effect, chooses to get the game without giving any benefit to the developer. LameStop loves to shill their used copies because it means they don't have to order more new copies from the developer. And they move such volume and do it so aggressively that it's way worse than people just ebaying their old games.
I really wish there was a way to keep the LameStop vampires out of it while still letting John Q. Public sell a game to a buddy.
Unfortunately LameStop is going to ruin everything for the rest of us because they've taken a right we value and abused the shit out of it for their own profit.
But more on-topic, this Ocean Marketing guy is so hilarious. Typical brain-dead e-thug. Guy needs to mate with a belt-sander. |
