"We’ve all tried to look at things from Microsoft’s perspective, but ultimately they’re pandering to failing publishers who would rather shift the blame onto customers instead of changing their problematic business models. What I find truly distressing, though, is when some are comfortable with their rights as consumers to be stripped." - Joe Garcia
While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.

Gori: Cuddly Carnage is out this summer, an adult-themed action platformer featuring a hero cat with a hoverboard that fights against mutated toys who destroyed the world.
I agree with the article
why is it that customers trading in games are to blame for the failure of the devs/pubs? that customers bought your game and can do anything he wants with it.
example ...I buy a car...use it then sell it to my friend...should I take some of the money and give it to Toyota?
or im in a restaurant I buy a shrimp sandwich with lemons and pepper...I only eat half...take it home and give the rest to a friend...if my friend doesnt like it he should be able to give it back to me or to his dog or whatever...
my point why is it only jn the gaming industry that when people buy a game it seems devs/pubs think its a sin to resale it or lend it or microwave it? I mean I BOUGHT it meaning its mine meaning I can do what ever the &$@# I dam well please with it....
besides if anything they should lower the cost of games so people who do go and buy used will buy new because its now in thier price range...but dont go and try to tell me what to do with what I own because ill just give you the finger and not buy your products.
Used games help out I trade my game in the credits go towards a new title I am interested in. Developers are getting greedy is what it is. They made the cash when I bought the game they also made the cash when I bought the DLC they also made the cash when I bought a passcode to play the used game online. Quickly slapping something together and calling it a game is not going to help either. I own the title that I bought I own the machine it plays on I can do whatever I want with the game. Games run their course unless they have a high replay value then most of the time they will go up for sale or traded in. I know one thing all the tree hugging hippies will be pissed when a bunch of game discs end up in the local dumps because they are not worth the plastic their coded on. I think gaming is going down the tubes because everybody is greedy. I think my older consoles will see more action now than ever those were gaming days.
Trading used games and loaning games to friends is part of gaming culture, whether the devs like it or not.
