Used game retailers respond to 'Project Ten Dollar'

Feb 21st 2010 6:04PM (Joystiq)
Are all these "I support EA" posts shills? What other industry gets a cut of the secondary market....NONE. What kind of thinking does it take to actually believe thats its good business to devalue a product before purchase? Would you think its OK if Form required you to buy a new $5,000 control computer if you bought a used car before it would work, thats the same idea. This is a pathetic attempt by a company to try and suck the life out of the gaming industry by making their games worth less to the original purchaser, since it now holds almost zero residual value.

Trying to say that Gamestop is making too much money so this is good is flawed in so many ways. Sure GS hoses you over if you sell your game to them...but thats your decision. Its just like downloading games, I do it when the price is right since there is no way to resell them...they have less value when new, so they command a lower price. Marketing 101
