    Remember, used games are the worst thing to ever happen to the game industry, and anyone who buys one should be ashamed of themselves.  If you think differently, you're probably a pirate!

    I'm glad that they are actually giving me a reason to buy this game new. Beforehand there literally was none and I was waiting for it to drop to like £15 used now I might buy it.

    I'll wait for a Steam sale. Won't buy it until it costs about 15 euro.

    Funny how every other entertainment media has been able to deal with the used market, but somehow with games, anyone who buys used has become a terrorist taking money out of the poor developers' mouths.

    @Rappelsiini: Personally I hate used games and the used game market. I don't sell or lend my games out so it wouldn't bother me whatsoever. Obviously people won't agree with me, nor should they if they enjoy getting used games for example, but personally I like the whole online pass system.

    Seeing as how I'm going to get RAGE on PC, this particular news doesn't really affect me.  
     
    Unfortunately, since I buy 80-90% of my non-PC games used, it looks like I'm going to have to start limiting myself to one or two "new, no-content-restricted" games per year.

    If you want to stop me from selling used game then break them up in small downloadable episodes. I'll give you $15 to try your game and if I like it I will buy a whole bunch more $15 chunks. And if I don't like it you won't make anymore money off me. I guess most publishers don't have the balls to put their money where their mouths are. They want everything and offer nothing in return.

    I think you missed the sarcasm.  I agree that all of these online passes are idiotic.  If they were that worried about making money off of these games, even when sold used, then they should make some awesome, compelling downloadable content for said game, to encourage even secondhand owners to put money towards the product.

    To access the areas you need to download the content, it's basically DLC that's free when you buy the game but not integral to the single player game.  Rage isn't the first game to do this.

    Wow.  Not sure why you quoted me before making that  statement, but I'm not the White Knight of Online Pass.  I own several used games, and I rent tons more.  I'm just sayin locking out some content to people who gave them $0.00 for their work aint that fuckin big of a deal.  I plan on renting Rage and not giving a shit about the sewers.

    @Vexed: Because the idea of continuing to defend them locking out content to people who are rightfully purchasing the game, whether or not is used, baffles me as much as the idea of going "Still complaining about this?" as if it has somehow stopped being anti-consumer and an overall shitty thing to do that no other entertainment media does? Not sure why you decided to ignore that key part of my argument before making that inane statement.

    I always buy games "new" so i dont really care. However i would rather want developers using a more agressive stance against retailers, trying to punish them and also helping others that dont sell used games but i guess this will have to suffice

    It is stupid to punish consumers for buying used games.  If it really is such a loss of revenue to the industry they should sack up and refuse to supply any retailer who deals in used games.  If a big publisher like Activision or EA refused to supply Gamestop they would have to make a choice and decide if they are in the new or used business.  The publishers and developers like to claim used sales has some kind of parity with piracy - yet if a retailer was also offering counterfeit discs for sale or modding consoles you can be sure they would cancel contracts immediately.

    @iAmJohn: We can argue on how shitty or not of a thing to do it is, but I'm not defending it.  As a frequent renter I would much rather it didn't exist, I just think people overreact to it.  Your point about other media is not entirely true, rental copies of DVDs have 'bonus features' removed.  Regardless, people who can construct an intelligent argument like yourself on GB are rare enough that I don't need one to think I'm an asshole (you probably already do) so let's not continue this spat.

    It does to the publishers/developers, though.  Whether someone pirates a game or buys it used, the developer/publisher doesn't see a dime, it's just that buying and selling a used game isn't a crime.

    Did anyone actually read the article, it's basically just some random side missions you can't do. The BS topic title trying to make it look worse than it is laughable. It's no worse than get a free case if you preorder L.A. Noire or w/e.

    What is the purpose of holding back any content for a single player game?  How is that necessary?  Getting something free for a per order is a great idea to get people to buy games new.  Holding back content that is already there unless you buy it new is not...

    So let id do as they please. They just killed a lot of sales from people who were on the fence about getting the game. I mean honestly id hasn't been relevant in many years. So who cares if they flop.

    It's completely rational since used games is as big of a problem as piracy to the industry. Used game or pirated copy = no money for the publisher and developer. PC gamers have been dealing with bullshit DRM for years because we're all crooks apparently, but the whole industry of used games, where a retailer seriously promotes fucking over publishers and taking all the cash, has been let go for some reason. That to me is weird. Of course it's a complete lie to say you like always on DRM because games will be updated, herp derp, but whatever, I don't mind devs wanting control over their product and protecting dat monay.

    This is just going to get more and more common, until we finally hit that breaking point were everything is digital only. I hope it's soon (5 years, come on America, build better Internets, we're waiting), since it should drive down prices a little bit (maybe not) and ensure money goes in the right hands, as well as make piracy harder, ensuring that the industry grows and that we get better games. Hopefully at that point we can also be free from all of this pre-order bullshit from 14 different retailers, and get a complete game, straight from the publisher, or even better, the developer.

    Remember, used games are the worst thing to ever happen to the game industry, and anyone who buys one should be ashamed of themselves.  If you think differently, you're probably a pirate!
    Wow, then I must be a pirate. Used games have been around since games first came out. I suggest you deal with it. So, excuse me for trying to find games along the lines of my budget. 
    Sarcasm!  Learn it!

    It seemed pretty obvious.  Next time I'll have to ramp up the hyperbole even further!

    Hold the fuck up....so people who don't connect their xbox to the internet (Yeah they exist...)  will not be able to access certain areas?     Seems a bit unfair, they also paid 60 dollars.
    To access the areas you need to download the content, it's basically DLC that's free when you buy the game but not integral to the single player game.  Rage isn't the first game to do this.
    I have been gravely mislead. Bulletstorm did this as well....I don't see the point of the article then.

    Yet another attempt to get people on the Interwebs to grab their torches and pitchforks for yet another mindless witch hunt. Drama brings page views!
