Why the Xbox One used game system makes since for the new generation

The used game market is scam run by companies like GameStop when it comes to new releases. I mean come on $54.99 for a new release and none of that revenue goes to the developer/publisher. The gaming public wonders why so many developers are shutting down recently(THQ,38 studios) This is one of the main reasons. Microsoft is doing the right thing by at least trying to protect the industry and its partners from this huge problem, because I think we all forgot sometimes that is not just Microsoft or Sony that loses money in this, it is everybody that was involved in the project. I do agree that there should be limited sharing of discs allowed between friends, but overall this makes since.

what you fail to realize is that microsoft says it is only giving you permission to used the disk ,your paying $60 for the PERSMISSION to use the game, if anyone alse wants to play the game you already bought, they have pay again full price before they can use your disk. check it out in gametrailers.com, ridiculous.

Yeah, I didn't get into gaming to exercise common sense or Logic, so to hell with this. . . . I'm going home.Lulekani

There is no excuse for making people pay extra to play a used game on console.  In other words, people are going to have pay a place like Gamestop $55, and then pay even more just to access the game itself.  The online pass was one thing, but paying to access games themselves is stupid.

The used game market is not a scam by any stretch of the imagination, and if developers and publishers are crying about lost revenue due to used games now, just wait until they see what happens when they attempt to restrict gamers ability to play used games.

Devs and publishers are playing with fire, and they are going to get burned. Badly.
