Nov 1st 2011 7:00PM (Joystiq)I also refuse to purchase games with features intended to discourage used game sales (online passes, let's say) because that increases the loss I would take on selling their crap game later beyond the expected $20.
I typically don't buy a lot of digital games at the $20 price point either. The game would have to have a metacritic score in the high 90s for that to happen. Frankly, at $10, I consider Pac-Man CE DX to be the best money I've ever spent on any game ever.
Devs can whine all they want. Used game sales aren't theft; they are a market reaction to the lowering value of games whose prices are eternally increasing. Authors have no just complaints against used book sales; neither do auto manufacturers about used vehicle sales. Games aren't special.
