Why did so many of you gamers went full on berserk on Microsoft and its initial DRM features on XB1?
Living in a country with crappy economy often leaves you no choice. Do you realize I living in Poland have to spend 4 times more money in relation to a standard of living than in any other country to the West of Europe? Essentially prices are the same but the average salary is at least 4 times less.
And no, piracy and trading in used games is not the one and the same, because in piracy case, general poverty translates into mental poverty. And that mental poverty destroys gaming environment and makes it a really unpleasant place. Don't you ever forget that. Oh and the law forbids to professionally rent video games. Why? Presumably because of high piracy rate. Even if publishers wouldn't earn more, redefining law regarding renting video games would at least make piracy more redundant and would kill this toxic mentality!
However, in trading case, these people are cultured enough to be willing to buy new games if there is a good opportunity economic-wise. I occasionally bought new games this gen both physically and digitally. Don't you ever judge people like that. I'd love to keep my games for longer but that's why I appreciate good DD sales from time to time. In case of physical games, I have no choice.
Anyway, what's your take on this?
