@advocacy i would like this more than once if i could. lol

@maitkarro although people did have a freak out about GTA and GOW. And like those, this "controversy" will pass too.

@sdkingsht @Gen-Gawl i was being somewhat sarcastic. I didn't literally mean BC.

However,

I'd bet money that at least initially both versions will have the exact same content. And with BC on the PS3 they had upscaling of the graphics of PS2 games so you did get better graphics. for all intents and purposes it's the same thing, just dressed as something different.

so pretty much they are charging for backwards compatibility now.

I've had a GS employee try to slip me a used version even though i asked for a new copy. Not cool.

With that being said, i don't think devs should get a cut of used sales. They already made their money from the initial sale. If they want more money they should encourage new game sales. But even that only goes so far. The market will only bear so many games. Once purchased, the games don't just disappear. They stay in the market for others to enjoy. If 6 mil people want to play your game it's very unrealistic to expect 6 mil new game sales. And that's exactly what they want. And for every notch below 6 mil they achieve they will cry about money being stolen away. It just doesn't work that way.

it's gotta be a joke. nowhere did i read that MS was allowing trade/share/sell of digital purchases.

So how about lowering the already super inflated budgets and use the money more wisely. You can make a fantastic game without it costing the GDP of a small country!

wow. 8.5 mil people in the first 24 hours? i wonder how many actually liked what they saw?

they keep pushing customers into the arms of their competitors.

looks like i won't be buying a new xbox. simple as that.
