Both of you are ignoring that there is one less game in the equation (from the publisher’s side) in an used game sale than there would be if the second player had to buy a new one (regardless of price).

Except you’re missing some steps. The guy sells at $20 to game reseller.. The used buyer buys from reseller at $40.

And yet you frequently see studios going out of business. That said, I do see a difference between a PS4 game and an “out of print” NES game.

You’re somehow ignoring all the money they “lose” to people who buy the used ones, instead of a new one (even at discounted price). I’m not just making some of this stuff up. Companies have done the metrics. IIRC when Microsoft first added achievements a memo went around to developers saying the reason was to…

*shrug* Blame used game sales. Most of the really annoying trends in gaming (such as this) were invented/designed to interfere with/get money in spite of used game sales.

Who is the editor that keeps approving this crap from Burneko?

I don’t play overwatch to work, I do that all day. I play overwatch to have fun and it just so happens that I find Hanzo to be a lot of fun. If it pisses anyone off, complain to Blizzard and petition to have him removed. Otherwise, I don’t particularly care. If you feel we need a tank, pick a tank. If you feel we need…

I guess my question is...why would it have helped? If people didn’t like the setting of Infinite Warfare, knowing that CoD 2017 would go to a setting they liked wouldn’t have made them buy Infinite Warfare.

It doesn’t make me chuckle on its own, but in the context of appearing on a sign in a busy part of Tokyo, where the business in question obviously had NO IDEA what it meant? That’s pretty funny, if you’ve ever been to Japan.
“Engrish” exists as a concept for a reason, and a sign that says “KKK witches” is so out…

it’s funny - the artists is telling you how she played the role - you can disagree all you want - you can cnark - you can roll your eyes, but she’s the artists...

As soon as I read the headline, I thought “Oh, Gronk!” in this tone:

NO

You can’t help yourself when it comes to Gronk. He’s just so...... Gronk!

I hate myself for loving this.

Heh! HamNo’s Noonan hate is veering into “butthurt” territory.

Ha, you’re right! Missed the previous one.

You mean the Matt Walsh Superbowl walkthrough tape that never existed and which required the Boston Herald to publish an apology for printing a bullshit story?

By cheating do you mean that time the team recorded video from a perfectly legal location and that time the laws of physics worked as they were supposed to?

Pats “got caught cheating” the same way Hillary “got caught” murdering diplomats in Benghazi. That’s why we call it Ballghazi.

Go fuck myself? *Jerks off to the Superbowl highlights* drew, shoulda thought that through more!
