Let's say I have a perfect copy of <insert the name of a game you bought and finished a couple months ago>, up to the last byte. Would you pay me the original price for that today ? No ? Why not ? It's identical to a brand new copy collecting dust in some shelf elsewhere! No, because I'd rather that money go to the publishers and developers who made the game that we both want to play.
To counter your arguement, lets say that I have a brand new, never been opened, still sealed in the original shrink wrap copy of Half-Life 2. Would you give me $50 for it?
I also have a brand new, pricstine condition, never been driven, stored in a hermetically sealed garage 1965 Shelby Ford Mustang. Would you care to buy it off of me for what my grandfather paid for it...the original retail price?
How about this used, 2009 car I have with 250,000 miles on it. It's a really awesome car. I've driven the shit out of, but now I'd like to get a 2011 model. I'll let you have it for 5% off of the MSRP I paid.
I also have a "copy" of Battlefield 2: Bad Company. By copy I mean I have the box, manuals, the little DVD with it's fancy printed label. It doesn't actually work because there isn't anything on the DVD, but actually playing the game doesn't really have any value. It's the plastic and paper that we buy and own. All yours for $59.95.
Okay, maybe there is some value to being able to actually play the game, so I'll make a deal with you. I'll sell it to you for $20. That's what Gamestop would give me for the plastic and paper once I'm done playing the game, ergo that's the fair market value. |
