I'm disgusted by how dumb most people on this forum are. This is why democracy fails. We need something better. No more 1 person 1 vote. People should have vote power proportional to their intelligence.
You do not own the game. You own a license to play it! that's it! the terms of use are different to normal property ownership. You don't get to resell it. There are always rules for what you can do with certain things. Read them or just simply use your logic and realize that many games have no replay value and are short so therefore they quickly become pretty useless to you but not to other people who haven't finished them yet. That's why the property rules, that you are familiar with, cannot apply to many single player games, or movies, or tv series, or books because once you know the story then there is almost no point in going through it again unless your memory is crap, which is rare. Stop trying to argue with me. You keep repeating what has already been said and you are not convincing me that you are correct.
I am the one who is correct and I have the most down-thumbs. This proves that democracy is a failure. This proves that a republican (or if we want to be more specific: a religiot) can be president of the USA again and then the whole world is fucked again for a long time.
Games are so expensive because lots of people accept to pay such high prices because they think they can resell the game or share it with their friends, so that the cost to themselves will effectively be much less. If 10 of you each buy a different game and then agree to share all those games with each other then basically it's like you've all gotten 10 games for the price of 1 or, to put it another way, paid one tenth of the price for games. It screws-over people who do not share games because it does drive up the price of games!
It's like with renting movies. You pay a fixed amount regardless of how many of you gather around the TV to watch it. There currently is no reliable technology to detect how many people are watching a movie at home so the companies just assume it's some average number and charge according to that and people accept it because if they have lots of people watching each time and each take turns paying for a movie then they are effectively getting a good bargain while the people who watch alone are getting screwed. It's not fair. The charge should be proportional to the number of people watching otherwise some people are effectively being seriously undercharged while others are seriously overcharged. Basically people who are lonely have to effectively give money to people who have parties all the time. The reason the system is that way is because we cannot currently do better, but now we may have a system to make things more fair for game players and you are all complaining that the companies are being greedy when this possibly won't even change their revenue at all. It just changes how much each consumer effectively pays to be more equal! Possibly the reason companies didn't complain before was because the average number of people sharing each game copy was pretty stable and pretty low, but then when retail stores started with their used game business, it made sharing much easier so that the average number of people sharing each copy of a game suddenly changed and went ridiculously high, causing companies to face the prospect of having to charge many hundreds of dollars per copy of a game. Now with this new policy of no game sharing, not only will we avoid games priced in the many hundreds of dollars with ridiculous loads of people sharing each copy, but we will go further than returning to the old average number of people sharing each copy and the old prices and we will end up with a number of people sharing each copy of a game equal to 1, and the prices of the games will be much cheaper than before! Now sit down and shut the hell up! Thank you for listening.
