    buying new copy for $60 --> some profit goes to retailers, some to publisher, some to developer

    buying used copy for $50 --> all profits go to retailers

    pacther gave his estimate for profits of each segment in an episode of pach attack, but that is the gist of it.

    uh............. good for you people buying used game and pumping ur money to your retailer I guess.... We all know how many games THEY make. Personally I just fill dirty buying used games.... but that's just me.

    oh yah and buying ME3 used will totally show bioware who's boss..... i mean not giving them any profit on a game they make will surely make them want to make more single player content that isn't tied to an online pass

    there is nothing wrong with online passes, PC games have had cd keys for ages, and we don't see anyone getting upset about that. (and its only 10 bucks if you want a friend to borrow ur game, which i feel is a fair price)

    plus unless the co op is incredibly bad and terrible, I don't care at all if its added. You don't like the co op then just don't play it.

    What people like you like to forget is the ones that actually sell the games they played. If they get $20 back, they effectively payed $40 for their new game. 
    I'm f'n sure that many of these people would not buy a game for $60 if they know they are not able to sell it.
    What that basically means is that right now, more people with a little less money get access to games. And this is a big part of why games are as bis as they are now.
    Online passes and all this other crap will make less people play video games and that will hurt us, too, in the long run.

    I don't have any issue with online passes. Its a smart way for publisher/ developers to potentially get a piece of used game sales without stepping on the toes of brick and mortar. And it used game sales (which I agree should be around) didn't exist there is no guarantee publishers would be as quick to lower the price at retail when a title is stagnant. Retailers pay the publisher for shipments an that's when the publisher gets their money. We then pay the retailer for the game that they already purchased from the publisher.
