No Used Games On Xbox 3

Anti trust. Business tampering.

This is 21st century America you can sue over anything

Anti trust doesn't apply here at all. Business tampering isn't even a thing. I agree that they'll piss and moan, but there's nothing they can do about it.

No Used games is commercial Suicide.
How hard is it to understand that?

I don't normally like what 411 games writes up about gaming mostly because they're morons but this is very well written and explains the case against the No used games rumor.

That's why PC games are dead.

But again, PC games are far different than console games in that regard. The comparison simply doesn't work here.

PC games can be hacked to fuck. Console games can't be. You hack a PC game Your OS isn't going to be banned from the internet.

Which has something to do with people being ok with no used games there because?

Say you buy a used PC game, it won't work. You hack that bitch and it works
Since Consoles are closed you can't do the same thing.

I'm not following your logic here. PC games are video games. Console games are video games. The modern PC game cannot be purchased used. The modern PC game industry is doing fine. How would no used console games destroy the console game industry?

Except stores don't sell used cd-key games, because the average consumer doesn't know how to "hack that bitch". And even if you do, you can't get online with it because your key isn't legitimate. So that's no different from hacking a closed console.

Look, I get why this is bad for YOU. But your claims that this will destroy the industry is massive hyperbole.

Stop being so thick, we explained it. What part of it will kill jobs don't you understand?


PC gaming is a very niche market and it's mostly digital now Gamestop doesn't even Carry PC games anymore.

But where do you find used PC games, apart from randomly at thrift stores?

Besides the majority of hacking of PCs games is to get it to work on different OSes (well apart from the spoofing of security details). That would not be a problem with a closed OS system like a console.

If the consoles follow Steams approach of super discount sales, I have no problem with this. However we all know they will be more like they are now where they rarely have sales.
