It used to be when I bought my games, there was no difference between them new or used except that I saved at least $10 dollars. I had a guarantee I could play as long as I wanted to, whenever I wanted to...
EA just hosted its quarterly financial conference call, and its executives have been asked to comment about the recent price hikes for games.

This is why this industry has slow releases and none compelling games.
Why would anyone willingly work in the VG industry or specifically for one of these globocorp organizations that put you in constant fear of losing your livelihood based on terrible choices made by idiotic management, not the people with talent making the actual games?
You can automatically tell when developers/Publishers are purposefully ripping you off; When they announce or even have trailers for DLC packs before the game is even released (Dragon age: Origins/Fallout: New Vegas).

Publishers are the financial institution who don't create anything rather find ever new ways to make more and more money out of as little as possible and then pay themselves huge bonuses for being so cleverly greedy.
Def Kelrath!
