So, as Ea Sports announced their online feature of the games will only be accessible for the first buyer.
Second hand buyers need to pay an extra 10 dollars to can use the even most basic online features.
Were does this companies want to go??
They are hitting on their costumers, and don't even realize that they are destroying their own market (sure their will always be people willing to pay extra)
To clarify: Cost for online (servers, maintainance,...) are included in the original price, as are dlc in fact. (the taxidermist for heavy rain was out before the game why should i give out 5 -15 dollars for that, it should have been included since the beginning)
That was the business plan for games 20 years ago and hasn't change since than. I remember a time where consumer and dev's took care of the whole game after it came out (mods, dedicated servers,....)
Take a look at a "open game" like rfactor, gtr, BF,....
Charging fees for a second buyer is pure profit for the company and isn't used in any way to improve any aspect of the game.
Now charging to play online on a used game. Imagine xbox people, paying their isp for the internet, paying Ms to hook up the xbox to the internet and now pay the publisher to play the game.
What's next?? Paying fees to hook up the xbox to a monitor??
Charging fees to use my hands.??
On any used market, the original reseller gets nothing, whether it is Ea, activison, Bmw, ford, Sony, ....
So BMW should limit the range of used cars to 100km. Want to get 500km per tank?? Pay an extra 5000!!!
(actually i gonna propose that to bmw, so i can make money with that genius idea:tup:
)
I don't gonna support this stratagy, infact i think this enchances the whole pirate of the media scene. you mod the original files, add lan/private servers, play with friends,.... Look at all the poor bastards who bought Assassins creed 2, the settlers,.... people who bought it were annoyed badly because of servers crashes, whereas the hackers could happily play the whole day long.
Now publisher stat that this games are not piratable. Well biatches look up the internet. Plus MS gave us the genius opportunity to play all games before they are actually released (alan wake out since a week)
Sorry this makes me angry. It's a bit long now i even didn't get to say everything...
Now let's discuss this
PS: And people will figure a way out, as it was with the minis for the ps3 (internet share), to share the exclusiv content. if it's account releated you will have an account per game and will sell the account with the game. Problem resolved.
Or as the germans say : Wollmilchsau
Publisher think we are this
getting ripped all the ways
