@ccgod

If companies are to generate a profit from selling $20 games, be prepared for game performance and graphics slightly superior than than of a mere mobile device.

@leviathanwing @ccgod how do you figure that selling 1 million games at $60 = $60,000,000 or you could sell 3 million of the game and make 60,000,000 more people buying your product gets you on the map to where you can do DLC's and such giving you more $$ because more people own your product. How do you think Wal-Mart makes all that $$$$$ by selling cheap in vast quantities

@StealthHimself @ccgod not my fault none of you know anything about business make it easier cut the #'s in half since most decent games don't make over 1mil and change it to lets say $30 a game. How many times have you seen or heard someone say oo it looks like a nice game but i'm gonna wait to get it at gamestop when the price is lower. Because people won't pay full price for a non AAA game. Game devs don't make $$ from gamestop sales so if they sold the game at a lower market value they would get the profits from the game in the excess amount they would sell at the launch of the game instead of gamestop soaking in the profits

I really think the solution would be something like a movie theater. You know, cause every one would have to pay for it for a while and they wouldn't have to pay for a blue-ray.

Why won't they release multi-player, before launch of the main game and charge a small amount for how many hours people play?

Kinda like free to play with micro-transactions but for every AAA game.

Begging Rockstar to bring GTA5 to PC? I don't think so. Especially not after the bad port that was GTA4. Then there's this mystery about if and when they'll do it, with Rockstar generally acting like they don't want the PC gamer's business. They can keep it a console exclusive as far as I'm concerned. There are too many developers that are serious about the PC platform for me to put up with Rockstar's bullshit.

the thing that gets on my nerves is that they can sit down with the retailers and come up with a deal were they give some of the profits to the developers, Microsoft tried to get more profit to the developers and more power to the people and everyone kicked off about it, so this shows people cant be trusted and the company should sort it out by actually holding hands and sorting things out.

like multiplier between PS4 and xbox one.

@1990BlackStar the way they went about used games with the xbox policies is to basically deny users the right to choose how they would be able to sell them. your games werent your own is how ms basically sized it up for us. cross play has and always will be an issue and currently its ms fault for stopping that from happening. next gen will not be any different.

@leviathanwing @1990BlackStar they actually gave you more rights over your game, you could share your games library over the internet with people you know, MS were trying to give you power overt the product while getting profit into developers bank accounts, but this would not be needed if they worked out that they can split the profits from used sales.

@Martyr77 @1990BlackStar @leviathanwing so don't like being called an idiot by someone that does not know me, if you read it all there is some good and some bad and people don't care about spy cameras (cctv, actual spy cameras etc)the world is covered in them and why do people care now snapchat is hosted on servers and i bet they save those pictures and gold membership is optional but was now going across all profiles and not just the one and they were not doing away with physical copy's, it was just digital was being promoted more so people would buy new and not pre-owned.

@1990BlackStar @leviathanwing You are an idiot. They wanted us to constantly check in with them, trying to eliminate physical games (which give you WAY more rights than digital), put a spy camera into your home (still doing this by the way), and charge you for games you already own. Yep sounds like more rights to me!

about the only time i buy a used game, is when i'm bored of the brand new game that i bought and played for a while. even at that, i buy older games, that have been reduced in price anyways. Devs = COD fans..... minus the immature little "kids" bursting out in anger because "I WANTED THE BLUE BIKE FOR CHRISTMAS, NOT THE RED ONE!"

I rather send my money towards the publishers fund the development of the games instead of the mouth breathing neckbeard creepers that work at GameStop. That doesn't mean I don't buy used games, I do but that's only when I can't find a new copy anywhere in my city(and I mean anywhere). Even then I never buy it from GameStop.

@Jasper_73 thats not true... brand new copies of bayonetta, bulletstorm, gt5 ue, e.t.c., e.t.c., are all below 30 dollars. just because you have to wait a little while doesnt change the fact that its still brand new and at least some of that money sees its way to the people who made it.

@leviathanwing @Jasper_73 not where i live in the uk. they stay at full price unless you can get it in a sale (which is a rare thing) even then the only games that get a significant discount are the ones that they cant give away. anything that i would like gets a measly discount of about £5, ^Whooppee doo!!^ it used to be in the old days that they would re-release on a silver or platinum package at around £15-£20. now if they did that again i would happily buy new.

@leviathanwing @houshidar @klonoa53 He never said that, though. I mean, why buy a used game when you can just rent? Most places won't let you return used games, anyways.
