It was still about this specific topic.
That first comment made me laugh.

I honestly think that an well priced online pass is still the best solution for used games.
I would understand paying, let's say, 5(1 Dollar to Sony, the rest for the developers) dollars to gain multiplayer priviledges for a used game I bought, and if I don't want to pay I can always play off-line.
In this way, I can select which games I want to support, and which I don't. It's a democratic and reasonable method. Of course, getting rid of the AAA system, and lowering the prices would be an immensely better option, and a weathier scenario for the Industry as a whole.
He probably means that some of the hostnames listed in the visitors statistics are from publishers' studios. Stuff like 71-19-177-226.dedicated.Ubi.com
This means that some people from studios are looking at this, probably guys and girls working in the dev teams (they are players too, and some of them are on Gaf).
Over 1000 views on the letter so far...including at least a couple from some publishers
Go on...
damn this is awesome
Yeah. And I shan't name names since I think privacy is privacy, and we're probably talking about 'regular folks'.
But it is spreading
Well, I bet the pressure from publishers is pretty high..

As it should. Frankly, your letter is well-written, and it sums up the situation and people concerns very nicely.

If famousmortimer's sources are accurate, then there's very little pressure from publishers. According to him this is more about Sony and MS wanting to make more money than about publishers pushing them around.

Screw the publishers, this is Sony's choice!
Glad to hear he understands why we're doing it
We're passionate about this and we're letting them know that.

I've tweeted. Let's hope it does some good.
I like Gofreaks letter but I'll continue with the more personal approach.
This is true, I lend some games to a close friend and a family member, it helped creating bonds and the love from gaming can only grow that way too.
But just think if they show the open mind to give us a benign DRM without any used games limitations. They'll have us at our knees then. This could turn to be a really great marketing coup for PS4 and with little effort from Sony itself.
Just a contrarian troll.

A submitted this as a tip to the verge since they cover gaming and such. Whether they make a story of it who knows but every bit helps.
They would win my support not just for this gen, but for those to come as well.

I know. I usually buy new unless it's a rarer game that's hard to get new at an okay price, but the biggest thing is my GF and I share our collections.

Exactly, I mostly buy new as well, but I do like selling my old games and buying new games with that money.
I also like giving out games I've finished to friends. Most of the times those are games they wouldn't have bought themselves, but are open to new experiences.

wel... Gameloft Spain Twitter links the article in the Spanish version of Gizmondo about the issue : https://twitter.com/Gameloft_Spain/status/339002701067206657
Sharing is caring.
But for real, I trade games with my friends. Not as often as I was younger but I think it would be an awful thing to lose. There are countless franchises from back in the day where I played a friends copy of a game and later got the later games all myself. Tekken is just on example, there is also Mega Man, Gran Turismo, Resident Evil and probably a lot of others that I can't remember from the top of my head.

I always buy new too but i'm not so dumb to think this used games drm stuff is something to be proud of.
Lending/used games is very important, lending games to friends is the reason why some of my friends now are into franchises they didn't know nothing of.
Even if this doesn't affect me it does not mean it doesn't affect others and i'll not buy a console with such a drm system by principle even if it would not affect me AT ALL.
Yes, feel free to change recipients etc. however you like
Need something on the letter about how many people only manage to afford new games by selling old ones. It's a very big thing. If they put DRM in i see new game sales declining.
That's not to mention that many people borrow games, enjoy them, they purchase the prequels/sequels. This stuff benefits publishers. DRM would be bad for everyone.
Are you new to reddit? The upvote/downvotes are inflated. They aren't really those values.
I buy new when I can as well however some games that are out of print or just hard to find, I may only be able to buy/find used. And usually that would be from amazon/ebay instead of GAME so a solution like MS' one (where they have an agreement with specified retailers) that cuts out amazon marketplace sellers and ebay doesn't work that well for me either.
Well it's now on Polygon: http://www.polygon.com/2013/5/27/4369584/ps4-drm-used-games

I love this. Seeing people stand up and do whatever they can do to make their voices heard is just awesome. Let's show people that we the consumers still have the power.

I laughed at the two comments following the first comment.
