It doesn't take long and to tweet this message takes all of 5 seconds
Agree completely, it would be great to have some price flexibility in this industry driven the platform holders

I can't believe I just used twitter for the first time and I don't even know if I used it correctly. But I did something god damn it.
You see what you've done to me MS? You see what you've done?! Years of avoiding it and I've now become one of "those guys". You motherfuckers.
Oh well. At least now I'll be able to see tweets I couldn't view unless I had an account. That was always really annoying.

The publishers setting up their own mail in buyback program would probably cost far less than MS's proposed account activation set up.

Publishers go where the money is, if Microsoft does it and Sony doesn't, most people will choose PS4 and that's where the money will be. If they both do it, they all stand to loose, because many will not buy. They are both better off just dropping it.

GTFO this thread with that thinly veiled corporate shilling. This thread is specifically to promote the Twitter initiative. Stop shitting on the thread already.

The solution is get rid of physical based media so no one can copy data to another system. Its perfectly simple

Poor Yoshida's twitter lol
We are either going to self-fulfill Sony's good-guy image if they never planned to have DRM and they announce it so, or we are going to make them look even worse if after all this they still put in DRM.

That's exactly the way the movie industry is running these days.
Why should anyone even bother getting a used movie, if they cost about 10 (sorry I'm not so familiar with the US market on Blu-Rays).
There's a reason he got juniored.
LOL, I know.
620+ tweets on the matter and counting.
May end up making my first video with my voice actually in it informing (the 150 people who decided to subscribe to me for some strange reason, LOL) plus whoever comes across the video) about the matter and possibly get them to join in.
I think you over estimate whether the masses will care.

What is Neogaf for? Last time I checked others are on here expressing their opinions as well. Remember my comments are not fact.

For the proper thread. You're off-topic in this one. Go start another (you can't do that, but oh well)

Dude, you're pirating Steam games.
Agreed. However if the past is to be used as a reference.... prices never drop to the points they do "new" on retail digitally. When is the last time PSN or Live had retails games for $10-15/ea? Very few ever reached that price level. I've bought the majority of my games for $10-20 brand new from places like Target, Best Buy, Newegg etc.

He admitted to sharing his Steam codes so friends could share his account.

I saw EvolvedNo2DRM or something like it
Retailers connect customers Used Games with customers. Consumers get money or credit for their games. GameStop is an intermediary that takes on the costs of purchasing games from walk-in customers in an attempt on aggregate to make money. Some games may lose them money, some may have huge margins, but they provide that service.
As someone who despises a lot of GameStop's techniques, I can't throw everyone out because GameStop charges too much, but I don't think that is Microsoft or Sony's business to control.
This is not only about protecting customer's rights to sell their games to GameStop, but also to maintain the utility of the physical products we purchase. So that we don't set a precedent that allows companies to continue to control how we use the content we physically own. I should be able to have the choice to lend my game to a friend or sell my games without having to ask Sony or Microsoft permission to. I shouldn't have to be at the mercy of their economic stranglehold on the used games market.

Hey man, please stop derailing the thread. We are making an effort here and a lot of posters are just fighting with you.
Wait until you're a full member in a few months and then make a thread or something.

They can act just as civil as us. GAF doesn't even come close to acting civil over game issues. Let's not act like we are better ok?

Learn to read people. Amazing. I use my Steam account at a friends house and its completely legal.

Anyways. Lets go fight and make a stance on something that is going to change regardless of how much we cry about it.
"He can just sign on to my account and play it just like I do with Steam"
I'm not going comment on the morality of this but account sharing is supposed to be prohibited.
Personally, I'm protective of my 100 or so game Steam account and wouldn't want anyone knowing my account info anyway.
Was just about to post the quote he did.
Yep. Instead of playing fairly and pricing Used Games out of existence by offering competitive pricing and service to consumers, they are pretty much abusing their consumer's rights to the property they own to extort places like GameStop into starting a revenue sharing system.
One approach helps consumers and eliminates Used Games. The other system props up gamers and strips them of their rights as a ploy to run used game sellers out of business.
Pepridge farm remembersI'm loving some of these posts in the fake console wars ads.
Fitting.
But we are.
