"What I wouldn't do to acquire those mini go-kart racers and the race track.."
Wednesday, September 01, 2010
"I am but a simple gamer who is a bonafied 9-5er, holding it down on the cash register at a grocery store. A person like me doesn't have a lot of time to engross myself in politics like the shit at hand here. We work hard; a 1/3 of our day is gone and people like me try to make up for lost time by filling it up with as much game time as our social life allows.

That said, I'm a working stiff who believes in actually buying games from a legitimate retailer. But games cost a lot of goddamn money nowadays. I don't see myself dropping $59.99 for Heavy Rain, a game of unrewarding theatrics, if I can find it much cheaper at another retailer. I have no problem going to Disc Replay and purchasing it for half the cost (actually I'm lying. I'm pissed I bought that crappy game at all). I never knew there was such a guilt trip being laid out from publishers over used game purchases. Talk about selfish and a waste of time.

For the few articles I read about the damning of used games I have to say this is completely ludicrous and a huge waste of time to even debate upon (and to even try and compare piracy to this is fucking bananas). I’m saying this because it shouldn’t be an issue at all. Publishers, you got your money once the retailers bought whatever # of units of your product. Fuck off with this greedy attitude. Devote less time in being a spiteful, greedy lobbyist and more time in giving the green light for the release of good games. If any gamer sides with the publisher's assault on used games then you sir/madam are a complete asshole and aren’t fit for gaming society.
