Did my part and made some tweets .
I don't expect Sony to say anything right now since they don't want MS to know there plans either way .

People do pay for their titles. This isn't piracy we're talking about here.
You're telling me they don't get paid already? Apparently you don't have friends in real job positions.

Go make a thread and have them post in it. And tell them to get jobs with paychecks.

No that ship has sailed. Besides I think they get the message after this week.
Digital gaming is TOTALLY different IMO. It shouldn't have secure rom crap but just like PSN games I know the ability to loan games or trade them in isn't an option. But the games are lower cost and so far once I bought one I've always been able to redownload. But for retail it should be like it always has.

As long as I can get all my games digital. If my friend wants to play them. We can just sign onto my steam account and jam on them

Exactly.
The consequences of Sony have zero DRM and MS having there account locking / online checking DRM would be really bad for one of the two and it would probably be bad for the one with no DRM.

That's probably against the TOS actually...
You can be banned for that.
I'm sure you'd love that.
It'd be kinda ironic if he lost permission to play his games...
This one is good as its all encompassing.

I hope the tweets will stay classy. The last thing we need are some rude/insulting tweets.

Honestly I wouldn't mind the stores like GameStop being forced to pay the pubs/devs a tax for the games they sold used. Gamers who use the mega used stores would lose money on trade ins but you'd still have free market trading/selling on eBay. It's the mega used stores that are the biggest issue and if the MS rumor is true Gamestop would be rewarded by being part of the limited set of retailers that could sell used.
Also if you lower the cost of games I think you're less likely to want used nor trade in games.

Publishers would love what MS is proposing.
If MS offers this and Sony doesn't, that will strain publisher relations with Sony.

Thanks for seeing it. A lot of people are not looking at the bigger picture. When one company in the same market takes a stance on a policy it also forces moves on the other side.
But that might explain the partnership between MS and EA.
It's not like EA could release Fifa exclusive on the new Xbox, since it would be a complete suicide and they have to respond to their investors after all.
The question is, who is exactly enforcing this form of DRM ?
EA is a given, but which publishers are part of it as well ?

Stop feeding him. It has zero to do with this topic.
They do. When they buy them new at retail. After that, it's none of their business.
Okay, how? How would it be bad for them? Positive word of mouth is no small thing, it is an invaluable asset that they should be taking advantage of.
Sony and Microsoft are not tied to the will of publishers. If they dare tried that kind of leverage they'd be playing with fire.
I'm getting tired of this assumption that just because Microsoft are acting like a bunch of clowns, Sony should have to as well.
I hope I was able to get my message across to them before this trends, so they don't just start ignoring the rest of their mentions until it all boils over.
Though I did tweet Suttner and Bettenhausen too, which was probably just a waste of characters to include their '@' handles.

They haven't got the same market.
Sony is basically strong where Microsoft isn't and the other way around.
Sony is strong in Japan were the used game market is pretty valuable and important.
They are also strong in Europe, were usually people are way more conservative over their physical media and the used market is strong.

Don't you know. Ford gets a kickback every time you rebuy a Mustang?
No it's only the videogame industry that whines like bitches when people rightfully sell and repurchase their own property.
Fair, but right now the only company making money on this transaction are the retailers, and consumers only save like 5-10 bucks.

Whats your solution to a physical/digital media crossover? I think the best thing to do is eliminate the one giving the problem.
So maybe Microsoft and Sony should realize that if customers are *that* desperate to save $5-10 bucks, then games need to be cheaper.
I don't have twitter , but i am trying my best posting the info on other forums and youtube :3

What if I sell on Craigslist? It's none of the game makers biz who makes a profit after first sale.

I think most publishers and developers are probably pro DRM.
There are a handful of developers and small publishers like CD Project who take pride in offering a zero DRM option but those guys are few and far between.
Steam is DRM but steam integration is seen as a plus by most gamers and probably has a high profit margin for pubs/devs.
That is what I see happening.
Those codes are for you to use your games on another computer. Account sharing, trading, and selling is against the TOS.

Last time I checked the reason Gaf and most gamers are upset is exactly for this reason. they are in the same market. They are consoles that can play games.
