GP writer Jared discusses why he believes that whichever next-gen console blocks used games will die, and why it probably won't happen for a few reasons.
Ozan Drøsdal tells TheGamer about The Holy Gosh Darn, the final part of the Tuesday Trilogy.
Hollow Knight: Silksong’s new collectible that succeeds the popular Grubs has the potential to deepen the mysteries of the new world.
The tiny green slasher villain returns in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, and is as frightening as ever.
The way it was handled was so dumb. One shots in melee...your teammates are to ostupid to get away from its attack. So you most often end up alone in a certain fight.
More like who doesn't block used games will be seen more favorably. But likely not by much.
Meanwhile the one who does will still sell systems to people who know nothing about the block and wont, until they buy a used game.
I want to think that the companies know that blocking used titles is going to do more harm to their profits than pirates do.
But I'm not too hopeful on that.
I agree that's why neither one of them will do it.
PC is still here and thriving through the biggest DRM store ever (steam), no? I know its a different culture and a different pricing model than the consoles but still that argument is mute.
Add to the fact that Microsoft nor Sony have to block used games because of the implementation of online passes by the publishers.
I truely believe that Online passes will prevail in the console market place in the long haul. It just serves the monetary needs of the publishers more than total blockage.
Its a sad state really, when all they have to do is lower prices and get better sales.
Console world is mostly about used games, which shows the actual quality of it and it's fanbase.
