I'm pretty happy with my post count, actually. No need to inflate it here when I could have page-long discussions on the C&C forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nepenthe Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 Apparently, it's a problem in a lot of peoples minds. And when enough people think something is a problem, it becomes one, whether it really is 'problematic' by nature or not.Your point? No point in jumping down that guys throat.

Well, only he brought it up - rather dogmatically, I might add. I replied in kind. Not really looking for a fight, either. I still don't understand what the fact that he may not be alone in thinking that second-hand sales are such a big deal has to do with anything, tbh. - When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.

Cl_Flushentityhero Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 (edited) Well, personally, I find retailer-mitigated second-hand sales appalling, since you can usually expect them to take most of the money in the process. That's more of a person-level issue though. If the customers involved were a bit more discerning in their arrangements, retailers couldn't take advantage of the used market thus. As far as publishers losing money . . . yeah, I'm not sure I actually care. The simple act of paying for a legitimate copy of a game is enough to placate my conscience.

I was referring to the publishers, and what we are seeing now being the possible result of some kind of collective paranoia or whatnot. Namely, when game publishers start to view a phenomenon as a problem, it'll soon become a problem for you. Random example: Daemontools and copy protection that blocks games from working when you have Daemontools installed - there are apparently some quite valid reasons for using said software, I know my university supplied computer came with it, but yet they've made a problem out of it for you too.

213374U Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 Yes, I see your point now. But it's not really a problem when I can find a workaround for almost any copy-protection related annoyance within three clicks, is it? If anything, it's the publisher shooting themselves in the foot. - When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.
