In case you don't know, Reggie Fils-Aime is the President of Nintendo of America, and how he got there eludes me, as he is about as dumb as a rock that a baby ate, then shit out, and somehow got stuck in the toilet. I love me some video games and from time to time, my meager paychecks are just not enough to get ahold of some of those $60 games. So I like to buy used games from time to time. Little did I know that Reggie Fils-Aime now thinks I am a terrorist, and that I want to find and rape the poor sweet innocent video game monopolies of the world with a fistfull of rusty nails. During a press conference, good ol' Reggie had this to say about used video games: "You don't see businesses selling used music CDs or used DVDs," Are you fuckin' serious? And then he continues with this fucked up bullshit:
"We don't believe used games are in the best interest of the consumer. We have products that consumers want to hold onto. They want to play all of the levels of a Zelda game and unlock all of the levels." Because the second you sell your copy of Zelda to Game Crazy, it becomes a demo right? He then ends his putrid rant with this:
"A game like Personal Trainer Cooking has a long life, We believe used games aren't in the consumer's best interest. Describe another form of entertainment that has a vibrant used goods market. Used books have never taken off. The consumer likes having a brand-new experience and reliving it over and over again. If you create the right type of experience, that also happens in video games."Â Keep telling yourself that Reg, some of us realize that a used copy of a game means that someone gave that company their money for that game already, and I dont have the cash to buy it myself or I would. So Reggie is a Douche Bagger, there you have it.
