Also Cliffy is an idiot and Jim Sterling ripped him a new one
[QUOTE="Jim Sterling"]
What really infuriates me about the used game debate is that, when people bring up the stratospheric development and marketing costs, it's treated as though they are noble endeavors, too sacred to be compromised. Rather than ask the question, "Do games need to be this expensive to make?" the question instead becomes, "How can we squeeze more money to keep making very expensive games?"
Why are people like Cliffy B simply accepting the absolutely ridiculous high price of game development as immutable fact, quickly moving on to blame something else instead of examining the problem at its source?

I don't think this is a black and white issue. Both points are correct. We want the freedom of used games, but we don't want to give up on those big block buster games.
We don't need to give up those big blockbuster games, we need to give up those crap games that are a Waste of shelf space, this past generation we still had a whole lot of shovel ware in it, I'd rather they get rid of them and so so games, even the semi good - good ones.
