Used Copies Of Rage Will Contain Locked Single-Player Conten

Umm no they haven't. Their pie comes and should lawfully come from "every user" that plays "their" content...if a used copy is sold then that money needs to go in the developers pocket, as if it were a new copy being sold (selles cut aside)...and not all in the sellers pocket. Until that happens, I am all for developers locking out their content and charging for what is theirs. People who buy second hand for being cheap, can wait till the new copies reduce in price or not play at all. When a person buys a copy they license to play the game, they still don't "own" the content. This is not a car or other day to day commodity items. The content owners are the people who create the content and by all means its in their right to charge for their content in what so ever means they deem necessary if retailers wont compensate. So ideally all the hatred in this thread should be targeted at the places that sell used game copies and don't compensate the developers, rather than hatred towards the developers. The same way I tend to hate the pirates for forcing developers put in unnecessary DRM rather than developers who are just protecting their intellectual property (of course there are some who over do it more than is logically beneficial)

You try to patronise people about saving 5 bucks on a used game, but you can't bear the suggestion of paying higher for new games on release? I don't even buy used games I'm happy to buy games on release, but just because it doesn't affect me personally doesn't mean it isn't kind of a dike thing to do. What lawful right are you talking about? It is not illegal to sell used games.

why should i have to pay higher prices? im not the one the companies are having problems with? and where did i say it was illegal? show me? thats not what i said at all..maybe you should go back and read it again..
