Just as the title asks does the pre-owned and used market ki;; the gaming industry, I don't think it does and it actually helps the industry by circulating games around and letting gamers sell their old games in favor for new ones.
Yes.Just as the title asks does the pre-owned and used market ki;; the gaming industry,
I have the same view. Have been wondering why used game sales is accepted and piracy not, when they both hurt the industry (used game sales more cause lots of people do it as it is not illegal and easier to do than piracy in most cases).I may be overly dramatic, but I see the second hand market as a sort of accelerator of doom for the gaming industry. Even more so than piracy: not only is there no way to prevent it (let alone prosecute it), it's also considered more "ethical". I really wonder why: in both cases, the developer gets nothing for his/her work.
Inorite? Like, last week, they didn't let my girlfriend and me into the movie theater with only one ticket. We told them she would sit in my lap and we would only take up one seat but they said no, we had to buy two tickets. What a bunch of bullshit. Entitled assholes.I don't know why the entertainment industry is so self-entitled.
Thats two people using the same thing at once instead of one person using one thing then selling it for someone else to use.Inorite?

Difference pointed out.
Yeah but one is using it while the other isn't.Thats two people using the same thing at once instead of one person using one thing then selling it for someone else to use.Inorite?

In the case of 'one person using one thing then selling it for someone else to use', it's 2 persons using the same thing too. The only difference is the transfer of money, which didn't go to the developer. My logic may be completely wrong but I'm trying to understand it better.
Oh please, Veho. Goods Versus Services, which it seems many people today do not know. I know that the internet and digital distribution blurs the line somewhat when it comes to entertainment nowadays, but you can't consider only the end result (the viewing of intertainment), the production and way the consumer comes in contact with it are also important and up for consideration.Inorite?

No. Just like with movies, whether it's a good or a service depends on how you're getting it.Ah, that Good vs Service cleared some stuff up.
But I wonder what are games then? The disc is good, but the gameplay on screen is service, am I right?
