The thing is, he isn't actually wrong. Sure he could've phrase it nicer. But his comment about their games is actually right. The majority of Japanese games sucks.

On a scale of 1-10, how bad was the worst thing you ever had to experience and what was it?

Actually, yes they do. If I know from the get go that there are some achievments I wont be able to complete, or that would take a massive ammount of time I often pass on said game.

Depends on the game and how annoyed I am. Usually I'm able to easily do most puzzles and stuff like that. But I remember how annoying the one in Andrastes temple when playing Dragon Age was. I was playing an RPG and not an Puzzle game and I absolutely do not enjoy it when my game flow is interrupt with stuff like that. So I gave up on it without even trying and looked it up.

Create a character. Unless the character creator is really, really, really bad. : |

It looks like I should have made a poll for people this topic doesn't apply to:

A. Too poor

B. Don't know any better/Only own a Wii

C. I'm just a kid and have no/very little income

Isn't it nice that mommy and daddy are paying for you? : )

This is retarded. You have no clue what you're talking about. You skimmed the OP. You should quit while you're not too far behind, before you get embarrassed on a public messaging board.

"Hi, my name is Example1013! I buy used games and feel offended by your opinion. And since I can't come up with any actual arguments I will instead resort to calling you names and other nonsense that has nothing to do with the topic... derp."

I disagree entirely with your post. How is buying used worse than piracy? Saying they weren't going to buy it anyways is not a good thing to base that argument on. I am not pro used games and to be honest I buy my games new but how can you think that buying used is WORSE than piracy?

Most Pirates wouldn't have bothered to buy the game in the first place. So the developers did not in fact lose money they would otherwhise have made. But if you buy an used game, you're paying actual money for it. Without the option to buy the game that way, you would've bought it directly from the publisher/developer. You were willing to pay money. But instead of giving said money to the ones who developed and or distributed the game, you gave it it to a leech that etablished itself in between.

Game resellers are pretty much the "middle man" in this case. You could easily compare it to someone buying stuff very cheap on another country while paying the people who produce it far to less then going on and sell the stuff in another country very high prizes making lots of money in the process. But unlike game resellers, that person at least etablished trade routes, ships the whole stuff and so on. Yet said practice is constantly criticized and not something that's harmfull both to the producers and the consumers.

In the case of game sellers it's even worse, because unlike in other fields they don't do a thing at all. They simply sit there, waiting for people to trade in their used games and resell them afterwards. They make money from the work of someone else, harming the developers in the process costing them lots of money each year. You guys merely refuse to acknowledge it because for the time being you might've to pay 1-5$ dollars less. Completly ignoring that you're on the long run harming the industry who actually produces the games you enjoy.
