@NTM23 @player1985 well, maybe a replay is in order, because gta will never be a game about equality, love and a perfect human society.

carolyn, if you are looking for a game about a strong woman doing wonders you should try 'tomb raider' or mass effect trilogy as played for femshep.

i don't think the reciprocity effect was tied in to ingame spending too well. the parallel wasn't really explained.

the other two reasons explain the phenomena really well though.

@xxYetterxx @player1985 okay, fair point.

@xxYetterxx @player1985 well, i won't be leasing xbox from microsoft, or any of the games from publishers - i will be buying them.

@xxYetterxx @player1985 if a publisher decides to opt in (which they will be stupid not to) they'll gracefully allow you to go to a designated retailer to trade in/sell your game. currently i can log in to ebay and sell/buy as i choose. so yes, i call the new upcoming system totalitarian. i don't need ford's permission to sell my focus or buy a second hand one.

@Foolsgold89 the sad part is that it seems like the backslash was indeed 'unforeseen' for microsoft, despite being pretty much an obvious reaction. what idiots.

what a totalitarian system! not sure how microsoft is thinking gamers would swallow that.

bye-bye XBOX
