I actually use second hand stores when companies try and pull bullshit.
like DRM or limited installations. i refuse to pay full price for limitations. so i buy used games. if they are going to cheat me, im not going to play their games. its pretty simple.
there are plenty of other great options out there. plenty of other great things to do with my time.

tbh this bull @#$ that nintendo is pulling with the 3ds makes me want a cracked version more than iwould mind payin 50 bucks for a game to begin with.
only poor people mind payin 40 bucks for a game. and poor people arnt in the position tobuy crap in the first place, so companies are only losing from people who are not in the place to buy in the first place ^ ^

The best solution to this problem would be to FUCKING MAKE GOOD GAMES, not hyped up pieces of polished shit. People don’t sell good games.

Nintendo games were actually like 30 – 50 in the beginning.

Actually, they aren’t netting any profit for the resold used game; The reseller (gamestop, amazon, etc) and the original owner of the game are the only ones who end up with cash in their pockets on a used game.

You’d be surprised- It might be an exaggeration but it’s not too far off from the truth. Average cost for an NES cartridge in 1985 was anywhere from $40-$50; SNES games ranged from $60-$70.

Dude, that is complete and total bullshit that you pulled out of your ass. Super Mario Brothers did NOT cost 65 dollars when it came out in 1985. No one would have bought it….you’re an idiot.

So….let me get this straight. You sold us your (mostly) crappy games for exorbitant money to begin with, netting you large profit. They are resold as used games, netting you lesser profit for the same game you already sold new, but still more profit. And you want to sell me a pass now for the online content because you’ve already profited twice and it’s not enough?
