Yes, a book or car is perfect examples of used items being sold... After all, a game does degrade when you use it, it's ... pages get torn ... and you need to buy ... parts from the company to keep it running ... and the graphics degrade so new games look better?
No wait, they might not be the perfect examples after all.
All 13? In my Steam Pop-cap collection read 29 games. While yes, it's 99€ (299,70€ is you buy them seperatly). But I remember it was down to 50€ in a sale not to long ago.
I always think it's fun when people say "Oh I hate EA, but I love Dice" They are the same thing! There are so very few people working for "EA" there is John, his secretery, some people who do the finance, the janitors, all the others work at studios, like Viceral, Dice, BioWare, Maxis, Sims, Brightlight, Black Box, Phenomic, Critierion, Mythic, Tiburion, EA Canada, EA-NC, EALA, ESSC or anyplace in IDS.
Death penalty really worked out for the Vanguard guys, they had that thing running what... at least 14 days, before the userbase complaints about it forced them to remove it. I'm sure this fresh faced company can do it, after all, the creators of Everquest 1 and 2 hardly knew what they were doing, right?
