Here's whats bothering me about this whole mess: I always thought the price of the game was set for various reasons, one being to fairly compensate the producers of the game at first POS(Yes I understand they take a bit of hit on the price, but they make that up in units sold). This trying to get money on the back end smacks of double dipping. Imagine if the RIAA were trying to pull this on used CD sales(not the those are much of an issue in the age of itunes, spotify, pandora, ETC.)
I can understand how the companies and the game producing houses are unhappy about not getting a slice of the pie after the first sale, but does GM or Ford get a cut on used cars sales? Nope. If they are so worried about making a dollar, they could be fool hardy and jack the prices up on the game to 75, even 100 dollars, but that would alienate a lot of gamer/fans on multiple levels for multiple reasons.
This whole issues just stinks of greed and companies trying to get over on the consumers who helped get them where they are in the first place.
I find it offensive that I would no longer be able to speak my mind, even if I am being mindful, for fear someone out there might take offense to something simply because they couldn't be an adult and either blow it off or say "Hey, their allowed to have their opinion and I'm allowed to disagree with it." Anymore, we're encouraging a tattle-tail society coupled with severe butt-hurtedness(yes I made that up) ideology.
I'm long past worrying about someones feelings getting hurt simply because they feel like they need to be coddled like a whiny five year old. Life's tough sport, better grab a helmet.
