TotalBiscuit on Used Games

[MeachTheMonster]

Lies - TotalBiscuit got pissed off with the PS4NoDRM thing on Twitter a couple of days ago and has since gone about justifying DRM in gaming whenever possible since like a crazed lunatic. If you don't know the history of the debate, you should be quiet honestly.

And you and I know damn well both you and Daze agree with him at least partly because you are MS fanbois.

Correct me if I'm wrong but @daze23 is a PC gamer.

And again twitter arguments have nothing to do with the fact that used games are hurting the industry.

And how do you know a steam like service isn't whats being implemented on consoles?

Because - once again - large corporations like MS won't offer the price drops and deals Steam does. And you are deluded if you think otherwise.

Look, unlike Steam, DRM on MS will be a way for publishers to make extra money at the expense of the consumer. Its a money making scheme - no more, no less.

And yes he was using Steam as an effective example of DRM, which is a spurious example.

He is in every thread defending MS, he is nearly as bad as you, Loose and Courtard at this stage.

Ok dude, I'm sure he would be talking about DRM right now if the X-Box One wasn't bringing it in, and if he hadn't thrown a hissy fit towards PS4 fans on twitter.

He is justifying DRM in gaming right in the middle of a massive debate about DRM on the X-Box One. But yeah, that is all irrelevant.

How do you know this? Maybe this is the plan. I don't know and you won't ether until they reveal the plans.

It's sounds more like a way for publishers to make more money at the expense of game retailers. Both console manufacturers have come out and said users will be allowed to sale/buy used games. So why does it matter to you where the money goes? Don't you think the publishers deserve that money? They have to keep supporting the games whether used or new.

And yes he was using Steam as an effective example of DRM, which is a spurious example.

You said it was the "centerpiece" of his argument which it was not. At this point we have no idea how it will work on consoles, so a steam comparision isn't out of the question.

Ps4 stans are making it about Xbox One. Look how many times you've brung up that system. You have Xbox One on the brain.

The debate is not about Xbox one. It's about the games industry as a whole.

I just try to be the voice of reason in the console wars. I'm genuinely interested in the tech and where gaming is going, but people here just want to pick sides

 

[daze23]

As an aside, will the X-Box One have the kind of 50% plus deals Steam has on a weekly basis?

no, because they've caved into retailers that want used games to still be an option
