Good for America.

YOu just old him not to jump to assumptions yet you made it seem like you boguht the alst of us for $4 when you didn't. You left out the part where you traded it back in and dont have it anymore.

Meanwhile in reality, developers complain about slumping stock values and inability to meet rising costs of development.



Rental industry has been killed, they filled in the void. Those assholes!

Who the fuck is talking about rentals? I'm talking about USED GAMES, TRADE-INS. If you want to go to Redbox and rent a game for a few days that has a completely different effect on developers compared to a game that is bought new, traded in, re-bought from GS, traded in again, re-bought, etc., etc. Considering that the developer only sees income from that first purchase, I wonder why their stock values are falling and they don't have the capital to keep up with development costs. :ukiddingme:

He assumed I traded in something worth $60 for $8 to get it.

Oh so allowing one person to buy it and share it for free with all their friends was the surefire way to solve this problem am i rite?

So I traded in a $60 game for $56 after getting to get what I wanted out of it. What point are you making here that makes Gamestop evil? I even have an online pass to sell and can come out with a profit. The horror!

You likely bought another game with it, which you will sell back for $15 and they'll sell for $55....but hey, like I said, it's still $4 more than it would have cost me on XB1.

No, but try again.

Developers could have made a ton of money that they wouldn't have otherwise on DLC. I'm sure that intrigued them.

Well tell us the details on this AMAZING deal.

You can continue to think it will be so easy, but it never would have been. When they put this stuff back in one day, you'll see. You got one person with 10 family friends in his circle, you need the other 9 people to fuck off if you want to be playing his game for free.

That is not a simple situation.

I got the money back? What the fuck else do you need to know?

Assuming only one person in my list has it, which is highly unlikely. I also have a few people that buy a bunch of games and would only let 1 or 2 people in their circle. Would have been extremely easy.

EA makes a killing on DLC as it is right now. Stop selling horse armor and perhaps DLC will do others just fine?

No urnotrite, considering you can only actively play any game on 2 consoles concurrently, even if two-four people decide to split the cost of the game, causing the dev to sell less copies, they still make more revenue than in the trade-in, used game construct, let alone not having to pay for publishing the game on physical media.

Everyone on your list can have 10 people, so now you're dealing with 100 people accessing 10 people's libraries.

But don't worry, I'm sure everyone can schedule their Madden games around one copy without any hiccup in that process, just like you said it.

 

[Primetime]

It wasn't that easy, cut the bullshit. They don't even sell the used copy for $56, let alone use that as a trade-in value. Awesome lies bud.

By the way, sweet selection bias, using a game that is on promotion and came out less than a week ago. Look at a game that's been out for about a month, you get, what, 15 bucks for it? 20 with the "powah" card?

Look at what you're saying, look at Primetime talk about how he's basically never going to buy a game ever if this DRM were to be, saving him thousands.


So they won't pay to publish, just take more of the cut, you still pay $60. Great for the consumer? (inb4 we pretend they will cut prices for your argument's sake)
