CVG - Or should it work like the used cars market?
Toyohashi, Japan is set to host a large-scale Monster Hunter event to celebrate the franchise's 20th anniversary, complete with themed hotel accommodations.
Shaz from GL: "Acting is a difficult craft to master, and what many don't consider is just how hard it can be to perform across different mediums of entertainment."
Interesting article, it doesn’t surprise me because some people are better all a-rounders than others. Regardless of fame or how good they are in their specialty.
This is why I feel like the live action stuff in Alan Wake 2 especially is pretty bad. It also looks really cheap and amateurish.

Yes it should work like the used car market. Its bad enough that on Xbox you are charged an extra fee to access the online portion of the game that you paid $60 brand new.
Buying used is putting money into that stores' pockets, not the developer or publisher. So yes, people should pay a bit extra if they are buying used. Perhaps people will smarten up eventually and just pay the extra $5-10 for a game and support the dev/pub so that they can continue to make games you want to play...
I don't think any features should be locked out, but I do believe that there should be more incentive to buy new. Reward the people buying new with free DLC or access to certain parts of the game before people using a second hand copy (maybe a more powerful gun to start with in online FPS games as an example).
Basically, don't punish anyone, but make your new buyers feel wanted.
Until they do this? I'm more than happy with people paying less getting less content.
I have no problem with people paying to go online or whatever, it is pure laziness to buy used.
Used cars don't exchange owners as much as a used game does. Once a car is sold the warrenty goes away and the car manufacturer is not obligated to support the second owner. Support people who pay you and people who don't can join in by paying.
Imagine buying a soda at Mcdonalds. Next sale the cup and that person gets a free drink. You get pay and Mcdonalds gets nothing. That is how used games sales work.
