You buy a car. You buy a brand new car. It’s expensive. Your friends call you an idiot, but who cares. You love cars. You love that new car smell.
But imagine if, when it came time to buy a new car, you weren’t allowed to sell your old one. That car you bought brand new a few years back? You can’t trade it in for a new model. Now take things a little further: imagine if, from the second you plunked your buttocks in the seat and gripped the steering wheel, only you could drive the car you just bought from the moment it left the showroom till the day it hit the scrap yard.
Insanity.
Video games are no longer just a simple past time. Today's games are evolving into true works of art. Offering intriguing narratives, cinematic setpieces, and profound messages, games can entertain us for hundreds of hours.
Originally launched in 2011, El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron is coming to Nintendo Switch, so It's time to look back at the original.
Still have my ps3 copies. Bought it at launch and another one when I found it cheap and in perfect condition about 10 years ago. I wouldn’t buy it on Switch but if they made a PS5 version I would. I still have one of my PS3 Fats hooked up so good to go either way.
Id play it again on the switch. I wished my 360 version was bc but this is still a good way to play.
The artist behind Fallout 4’s Deathclaw reveals just how bad things got back when Bethesda took over the series
People are stupid I get it. No one should feel unsafe,
But I think they need to talk about why they cut so many corners during the development process and why none of their games ever look current. And why they think all of this is okay while they charge full price.
As much as Bethesda deserve criticism, that's not really relevant to the reveal of Fallout 3 in 2007.
Usually, you have good comments but this isn't one of them. It just rides the mob. We can do both condemn the actions and not let them use it for other things.
I can say I received a death threat and everyone needs to shut up. People are not honest and will use horrible things to their advantage.
I also think Sony needs to change their stupid rules on how physical games need to be English dubbed in order to be released state side. Who made that rule? If it isn't Sony, then who is responsible?
Remember that EU citizens actually have the right to trade in both boxed AND digital games, as per a new ruling last year. This is going to make Sony, Microsoft and Steam's life very interesting over the next few years, especially now the first lawsuits from consumer groups are starting to take shape.
But yeah, here's the thing. If games become monetarily worthless the moment you play them, this MUST be reflected in RRP. They've got bags of intrinsic value, but as a commodity, they are literally worth less if they become worthless. #rambling
Welcome to PC gaming.
This ruling really is quite insane. It goes against everything that literally what business sense stands for.
The only way around this madness is if at retail *brand new games will *all be sold at absolutely bargain basement like I mean even less than second hand/pre-owned prices as in 10-20 dollars so it would actually be worthless to sell them again.
Do think it would be hard to fully implement these rules or some way or another a backlash will suddenly occur and they have to revert back.. also maybe sometime soon someone could figure out a legal way around this damn issue.
I don't think MS or Sony will actually take those steps, but if they do I would like to hear more about their thoughts behind this, the math. Why are they so sure this will benefit them?
I'm sure there are many people like me who over the past few years bought a lot of games that didn't live up to our expectations, or games we weren't sure of, but we bought them anyhow knowing we could sell them if we didn't like them. If that option (or right) is taken away, I know I will think twice before buying a new game. I will probably buy less games. I will not be able to spend money from selling my games in new games. And more people will not buy games day one anymore but wait for a pricedrop.
But this is my opinion. Still, if they really are going to hinder 2nd hand sales or make it impossible I would like to hear them explain it word for word to us gamers, centerstage at E3. If it's legal at all.
