Now that they are changing the formula somewhat and do not stick exclusively with online games with the community i will bring back my suggestion of WWF No Mercy for the N64. By far the greatest wrestling game ever made!
The best solution would be to lower the price of games faster. 60$ at launch and a month later drop it to 30$. I know plenty of games i would still buy day one and pay the big price for, even some that are single player only.
Most of my games i got when they became greatest hits at 20 or 30$. If for some reason a year after it's release a game is still 40 or more then screw it, i'll buy used. I'm willing to wait but there is a certain amount of decency that publishers should have.
Take Final Fantasy XIII for example. when aligning the launch on both consoles and in every market that game sold 3,5 million copies in its first week. It's been out of a year and a half now and is standing at 6.5 millions... so more then half in it's first week alone and another million or so in the next 3 weeks.. at that point there really was no reason to not drop the price.
That would also make the used game market look less ridiculous with games sold for 55$ 2 days after they came out.
at least pirates don't waste their money on people who don't deserve it, and they know that they're wrong.
Pirates don't inject much needed money in a waning economy.
My point is that neither do people who buy used.
You might want to rethink that...
Someone buy a used game in a retail store, which employs people, who earns a salary, which in turn uses said salary to buy various everyday goods bought in stores which themselves employ people, which... you get the point, ya know, economy.
You don't support the used game market, fine. To each his own. But don't compare people who buy used to pirates much less imply that pirates are better which the first comment i quoted does.
