You're better off pirating the game than buying it used from GameStop. Either way the developer doesn't see a cent, and if you pirate, you're not supporting GameStop's vampiric business practices.
You're better off stealing the car than buying it used from a used ca dealer. Either way the manufacturer doesn't see a cent, and if you steal it you're not supporting used car lots vampiric business practices.
It's always fun when people think physical items compare at all to software. A 1980 Dodge Durango is quite a bit different from buying a new 2012 one, which is called incentive to buy new. Games? No such thing.
I support used game sales legally, but the fact of the matter is you're barely supporting devs, pubs and the industry if you purchase that way.
As someone else said though, used games and piracy have already changed business practices. Most people here tell publishers to just live with it or adapt, which IS what they will do. Games as a service... The Old Republic instead of KotOR 3. |
