They really don't; they're just getting really greedy.

Damn you sound like a master of turn based strategy games, save Yakuza 3. How do you do it?
I've been playing turn based games for most of my life ever since my cousin introduced Final Fantasy VII to me in the mid/late 90's. It's almost second nature to me, hell I wish Atlus would release a Shin Megami Tensei collection for the PS3.

Tough break.

Worded the post wrong, fixed it.

Premium/Elite = Scam
Online Pass = Perfectly Fine

No, Brandon! The whole gaming industry is a scam now. Online passes are just a feeble attempt from the system to get rid of used games.

Which isn't really a bad thing seeing as the developers get $0.00 from used sales.

I'm pretty sure the profit is split between devs and publishers, not just devs. And the loss in sales due to used games is minimal; it's not like any studio is going bankrupt due to it. They're just greedy.

As minimal as it is, profit is profit. I don't really call it greedy when gamestop gets 100% of a used sale as opposed to a cut of a new one.

Besides you can just buy used whenever the cost of it is less than buying new when you add in a pass code.

by Destructo Tue Jun 19, 2012 4:25 am

When I buy a game, I should be able to whatever I want on it. None of it should be locked since I didn't buy it new.

by **BrandonBandicoot** Tue Jun 19, 2012 5:08 am

When I make a product, I should be able to make money from it. I shouldn't be losing profit from stores that push people to buy used copies over a new one.

Well, then...it seems as though we've reached an impasse.

Looks like I've missed the Doctorate trophy in Deus Ex: HR. Again. Fuck. At least it's the final base game trophy I need. I'm speedrunning the next one. No frills, no stealth and no multiple saves. That's probably what screwed me.

Played TvC and SSB. I wish I can get some new games for the Wii. Dat Last Story (I know everyone says Xenoblade is 10x better but, I still want LS personally. Will get XB though).

No, Nobunaga's Ambition. It is a strategy game like Nobunaga's Ambition, but using pokemon. Think of it as Pokemon Tactics.

I have been working though Limbo. Cool game, but damn some puzzles are a bitch.
