Title: Used games are a bigger problem than piracy
Post by: Fusion on May 20, 2010, 01:26:20 PM
Anybody wanna tell this guy how uninformed he is? (http://www.develop-online.net/news/34791/Pre-owned-a-bigger-problem-than-piracy)

Piracy consists of illegal copies distributed for free. 
Used games are copies they already got paid royalties for.

How does that make used copies worse than pirated copies?

If they're worried about people beating the games and taking them back when they're done, well maybe they should actually work on this thing called REPLAY VALUE!

Not the right board for this sort of talk Fusion.

QuoteThe pass card will work much like a Microsoft Points card, with users having to input a code to get online access. Once the code is used, the player's online account is activated and the pass card becomes useless.
Allowing the people that owned the game before to pass on their username+password?

I think it's more like a CD Key.

That's totally inconvenient.

The Pass Card, as mentioned, works like an X-Box Live points card.  One use of the code and it's useless.

It's a modern-age CD Key.
