Take-Two Grumbles About Used Games

[Jeric]

BAAAAAAAAAWWWWWW! BAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWW!

Seriously. Shut up. You aren't getting any sympathy from your customer base and look like money grubbing bastards in the process.

Now I can well understand if your company who makes niche games, and gets by with just as much as they can, and that the reselling of games is taking money they need away from them(See Tales of Vesperia. It was Japan's #1 resold game for multiple weeks.)

But for Take-2, which has sold over 10 mil copies of GTA.....hm.

This is not the real issue...the real issue is used game stores are (for the most part) RIPPING US OFF.

Seriously...in most cases we trade in a used game, half the time for less than $10, almost always for less than $20...and they slap a price tag on the game that is only a few dollars cheaper, usually close to $30 or $40 in most places (at least here in Canada)...they make a healthy profit in the few minutes it takes for them to take your used games and slap a new sticker on them.

In my opinion, when the option is available selling or swapping the games with people in your area is the better option. You can in most cases avoid paying a fee or pay as much as you get for the games.

Trade in values are not very good for us gamers. But then again if you want to trade in your games at a lesser hassle then selling them to someone else that is your own choice. I still have all my nes, sega (cd, cdx, saturn), snes, psx games. If I don't like the game I normally gift it to someone else that will enjoy it better. As for complaining companies... maybe they should adjust the number of games made so they don't have 100000 new copies sitting around on shelfs. They should adjust for manufacturing cost vs actual purchases via any economy. though the economy will adjust up and down so should there manufacturing. Stop complaining and sitting on your duff. Start working on a solution!
