Do we really need ANOTHER topic about this? Like I said before, publishers have wanted this for a long time. If both Sony and Microsoft do this, then it's bye-bye 3rd party support for Nintendo. Publishers will put out all of their games for PS4 and 720.


No, it will be the reverse effect. It will mean even more 3rd part support for Nintendo..


That doesn't even begin to make sense.


In a way, it does.
While Activision and EA will go for it because, lolz, munnehz.
There are publishers and developers out there that aren't just in it for the money. Namely Atlus, Konami, Square etc. I mean, if Atlus cared about money, would they have REALLY bothered making P4G on the Vita? No, they did that purely to please fans. All seven of them.

I don't think all devs will be on board with it. And heck, if people like Activision, or even Capcom, notice their games not selling as much as expected on the consoles that don't allow used games, they might jump ship.
I got my MvC3 used, and Capcom still got money from me, because I bought all the DLC.

Either that or Sony starts another video game crash.
Which would result in 84% of the world's nerds hurling themselves off of bridges.

Damn people, its not that hard.

If implemented, it will most likely only lock online features from the game, like how WWE games or EA sports games do until you put in the product key.

Those servers cost money, and buying used doesn't contribute a penny to those servers. This is a way to get some support back.

Why is this so difficult to understand?

Because its acceptable to talk about Sony dying?

I think I can tell the real hypocrites here.

Um Square does just care about money and ATLAS always makes money when they put it on a lower selling systems, more then the high selling ones usually. They know their demographic, that said they also know their demographic won't buy a console that can't play used games, that said Sony probably isn't going to actually use this in a console.

god how many times does this topic need to be made?


Idiots will be idiots and anyone that believes the fact Sony will not allow used games is also an idiot.

I actually have no clue why I said Square, I might have had someone else on my mind, but instinctively put down Square.

And when has AtlUs (I'm well aware the word is spelled with an A, but the company name is a U) EVER made money? All of their games are niche JRPGs, or puzzle games with awful animu plots. Sure maybe Catherine made fifty bucks for them, but P4Golden would have sold more on the 3DS than the Vita, mainly because that's where the supposed "niche weaboo JRPG" demographic is. JRPG loving weaboos don't own Vitas, nobody does. It's an imaginary device, like a time traveling DeLorean, or the WMDs in the Middle East. Atlus doesn't really have a demographic, outside of people that like niche games that are only niche for the sake of being niche. Although, I won't lie, I liked Persona 2. The rest of them can all unmake themselves out of existence for all I care, especially Persona 4.
