That's horrible.

If true, that probably means the end of used games. I'm sure that if MS pulls off that crap, Sony and Nintendo will follow suit.

The sad thing is that customers are going to let this happen and they will allow MS to get away with it

I see. You wrote "I agree with you. Preservation of life is meaningless without quality of life" in direct response to my post about breast prosthetic giving women quality of life, so I naturally assumed that's what you were talking about

But alright, if you want to jump from prosthesis to killing someone on life support - yes, without any quality of life whatsoever, life itself is probably most often pointless. Must be horrible to being so unlucky to end up in the position of making such a decision, though. When a loved one has entered a state of vegetation and the doctors give the person no chances of recovery, I see how it makes sense to pull the plug. For all you know the person is still conscious and is actually suffering but cannot tell this to anyone due to their state. Still, miracles have happened. I guess the hardest part is not knowing

Not sure if joking or not, but the emoticon is supposed to poke you. It's a stick, not an olive branch

The primary reason that companies are wanting to stop the purchase of used games is because the publishers don't see a dime of any money from a used game purchase. (Funny, but car manufacturers don't see a dime of money from used car sales, and Papa John's and Pizza Hut don't see a dime over used pizza sales....er...ok...used pizza=bad example --so why should game devs/pubs complain?) That's why they started making "season passes" so that devs/pubs can at least see some revenue from used game sales. Wanna play a game's online features? Gotta pay for it, even if you buy it used. (Personally, I think that's a b.s. move.)

Oh, yes, very much yust a yoke. Only humah.

[Driber]

Yeah you're preaching to the converted. And I would assume most of us here are strongly against this notion that you can't do with your property what you want.

But I'm sure we're in a minority

PS. Your pizza example would work in Japan.

After a 18 out of 20 (9/10) score from a French magazine, Remember Me has received it’s second review from german magazine PSM3 wich gave the game an overall score of 8 out of 10. they also gave Graphics 8, Sound 8 and Controls a 7 score. PSM3 magazine praised the game by saying “Elaborately created Action Sci Fi that feels more like visiting a cinema than a video game”. below you can see a snapshot of the score with extra details (in german language)

I actually said Joe was credible as a reviewer. Have you watched any of his reviews? Including that for Tomb Raider? Like I said, he's very concise and goes into great detail about the games pros and cons.

Though his channel is his forum for two things, his game and movie reviews, and then there's his editorial column, or soapbox if you will. So this was just his rant about what he saw of the conference, and that included the prospect of the pre-owned fees that have been reported from numerous sources.

Nobody has a clear answer what Microsoft will do in regards to this, but he was expressing his personal outrage should these reports turn out to be true. He even mentions he'll still wait for E3 to see what other news comes our way on this and other matters for the future system (including games).
