[QUOTE="Birdy09"][QUOTE="rr2Real"][QUOTE="AdamPA1006"] Well its a completely different game! If you are looking for historically accurate gameplay and still an awesome online gaming experience check it out! sorry i'm not interested in getting a history lesson when i play my video games Keep buying generic crap then... its clear only graphics matter to you. and the majority of so called gamers on this forum =] graphics are a direct correlation of the dev team's skill
[QUOTE="james007_14"]I will put my .02 cents in this discussion. Buying used game isn't as big of issue as piracy. With Piracy nobody wins because they are stealing the game and nobody gets compensation. With used games someone is reselling their copy. It is their choice if they sell it themselves or trade it in to gamestop so that they can buy a new game. There is nothing wrong with it because they bought their copy and they have a choice with what they do with it.sSubZerOo
Wrong :|, if you actually read the terms of service and EULA.. Your buying the permission to use their intellectual porperty.. You don't actually "own" the copy, do you honestly think the majority of the money you pay for a game is specficially towards teh physical disc and case?
EULA's don't hold up in court and most of them are just comical
absolutely horrible list who the hell put that list together my top 20 would be 1. Duke Nukem 3D 2. Deus Ex 3. Half Life 4. Half Life 2 5. Kotor 6. Everquest 7. Doom 8. Diablo 2 9. Starcraft 10. Baldur's Gate 11. Neverwinter Nights 12. Rainbow Six 13. Rogue Spear 14. Ghost Recon 15. Dragon Age 16. Counter Strike 17. Battlefield 2 18. Unreal Tournament 2K4 19. Quake 20. Wolfenstein Enemy Territory
Perhaps you are right. I will concede that the legal side should be left as is. I am still going to encourage buying new games to support developers though.
(PS: Yeah thats right, first time ever anyone has conceded on gamespot)

i buy used games to support companies like gamestop who are going to get the shaft from video game companies in the future and it saves me money so i can buy more games
Support companies like Gamestop? If anything they are far worse then the actual devs.. They allow trade ins and give you as alittle as $10 or $15.. Then sell it back up to $45 or $50 (retail being $60)..
um they're in the business of making money and they have to deal with overhead if you don't feel like you're getting your money's worth then go to ebay or amazon they're not the only place you can trade in games

Never been big on Gamestops.
ok then ebay or amazon used game sales there make you a lot more money
To devs used games is as bad as piracy its simple as that, they are not getting anything from the sale of of a used game, and the sale of used games is more rampant than piracy. The topic never said which is more legit but which is more of a threat (I assume to devs). So console users spin it how you want you are still hurting the industry.
sSubZerOo
you honestly thing Used games are hurting the industry and not skyrocketing development costs and bad management?
USed game is a problem in costing them more possible sales.. And its something we can measure especially when used games at best can sell as litle as $5 or $10 from the new retail game.. Furthermoer its one of the easiest ways to raise profits, there ar ea select few easy to use systems that will seriously f up the used game industry.. That I am certain will be used next gen..
i wasn't going to pay full price for the game so it's not a lost sale
no renting games is worse. but alot of games are only worth a rental. some not even that. the devs need to step it up!!!!
yea but that would be too much work for them XD video game companies are becoming nothing but giant scams luckily i hardly buy any video games these days Or it would be nice for dev;s to take a good look at their game before just saying, yup, $60 here kthx. There are some dev's that will release a game for $40 because they know it might be short content wise, or it just wasn't a big bugdet game. that's why i wait until most games are like 25 used before i buy them... then i don't feel like i've been cheated
I didn't suggest removing the ability to sell anything you buy. Just that distributors like Gamestop not to reap all the profit on the sale of used games. And I don't believe you can directly compare the sale of video games to the sell of cars or houses. Cars and houses are based more on physical value. Games are more like books or movies.
MajorGamer531
when you buy a used car the money doesn't go back to the manufacturer... so why should the money go back to video game companies?

[QUOTE="roxlimn"]Hey, let's remove the consumer rights of book readers and film goers as well! Good luck with that. Unlike many gamers, it seems like, nearly the entire book-reading public is well-informed about their rights. This thread really makes me rethink my position about the educational value of gaming. Seriously guys, if you're not company shills, you're making us all look bad. Grab a book and at least read about some of your basic rights. yea f*** video games lets go back to book! revolution!
