-nod- But from what I've been hearing a lot of it is the fault of the customers for buying it. TotalHalibut/Totalbiscuit on youtube has made several videos explaining how he's seen the market working and gives a very interesting viewpoint on most of this stuff. He worked at a shop that aggressively promoted used video games for example, and it turns out the retailer makes the vast majority of the profit on that- Which means that publishers and developers have much more of a reason to restrict used games in the future than just 'screw the consumer'. Of course this results in a lockdown by Microsoft on their new console which sucks, but in the long run it might keep game developers from going under.. A difficult balancing act to say the least. Similarly with Sony always promising backwards compatibility and giving either limited or none- Probably would ruin some of their developers if they couldn't remake their games and resell them. And as for Nintendo- They haven't gotten real 3rd party support since the Super Nintendo it seems, so they just inbreed all day with their in-house development team which makes me wonder if they would have been better off going the path of Sega and simply being a developer for other systems... Well if anything I can always watch these games played through on youtube for a nice 'movie-going' experience since I don't see myself truly getting into playing them to make it worth the purchase price.
