“This is specific and planned profiteering, and that IS illegal.” We’ll allow you to use the remaining 10% but nobody else, unless they pay us.” Can you name any other product where you, as the customer, would find it acceptable that you’re told “When you buy this you only own 90%. That a car devalues naturally has no relevance. I should probably have toned the language down a bit in that part.Īlso as CEO of a video game developer, and thus one of the people in a position to make or influence decisions about “passes” he should expect less gentle treatment than any random forum member that defends these dodged the point. I then told what I hope his actions lead to, I hope (but don’t expect) for this kind of double dipping to have negative economic consequences for those responsible, to discourage others. I did not attack Stewart by calling him names (though I admit the temptation was there), I described how his actions and statements make me feel about him.

Log in to your post was directed partially or in full at me. I guess it’ll soon be time for me to find a new source of entertainment, because I’ll soon be fed up enough with these hidden costs you people are adding to try to get more money without increasing the visible number on the price tag. I hope your game fails, you get sacked, and you have make a living on minimum salary.

If you’d consider that fair give me a call because I have a bridge to sell you, you’d probably be able to afford it once that deal with the Nigerian gentleman goes through.įrankly you, and the moneysucking part of the gaming industry you represent, disgust me. What you’re advocating is similar to a scheme where a second hand buyer (or anyone borrowing the car) would have to pay the manufacturer to unlock the last 10% of engine power, because they are locked to the original owner (by fingerprint or implanted rfid or whatever way the could do it). People here frequently us the used car analogy. Stop these tactics of adding hidden costs. If you want more money increase the asking price, and let the market decide if it’s worth it. There’s an atmosphere of greed permeating every molecule of this industry lately, and some publishers need to be taken down peg or two. Maybe the crash greed will cause in this industry will turn out to be a good thing. People talk about gamers having a sense of entitlement, yet here we have the industry acting like it deserve to profit from somebody else’s property. Your profits are more important than my rights as the buyer?īecause that’s pretty bloody despicable in my opinion. You actually think that because you make a little fucking game you can override my rights? It staggers me that you think you deserve more than that. You don’t get profit from the resale no, but you got what you were owed for that copy. What about the people who worked hard to get the money to buy that game, doing far harder and way more important jobs than making games.ĭon’t they deserve to own it, does the publisher have the right to profit from that person’s property?Īnd Stewart, let’s say we were talking talking about a game you made, you neglect the fact that you got paid for every single copy, if the game gets resold, that has absolutely nothing to do with you, because the fact is, and it is a fact, it’s not your property any more. Except they already did, for every preowned sale they got their fair share.
