The people buying the games used aren't actually supporting them though.

Maybe you need to develop a sense of how complicated and involved creating a digital world actually is. Go ahead, start up a development studio and try to make a complex game like GTA4. See how much it costs you.

When? When has this happened with MMOs? How is this even possible? MMOs have two business models: subscription and microtransaction. And 20 bucks is still way cheaper than 60. Is it so bad that you throw 10 bucks EA's way so that they can continue to develop a series that you obviously enjoy? Really, that's your rebuttal? You've misunderstood what's actually happening, I point out the facts, and all you can say is "yeah right?" No, you didn't have to buy the collectors edition to get your Cerberus Network access. It came with every copy that was new. You can still look for a deal. I rarely pay full price for new games anymore. I buy online, use coupons, and wait for sales.

Bleach is terrible.

Maybe it's because he's subscribed to the thread? He's not stalking you. Take a chill pill.

They did do this with ME2. It's called the Cerberus Network, and it's for all the free DLC that you get with the game. Buy the game new, you get access to the Cerberus Network for new weapons, quests, etc. Buy the game used, you gotta pay up for a Cerberus Network pass. TOR is an MMO, so I don't even know why you're bringing that up. So wait until it's economical to buy it or do without. It's the same argument I have against people who try to justify piracy: if you're not willing to pay the asking price, then don't play the game. You're flat out wrong. Buy new, you get the pass. Buy used, you pay 10 extra. Nobody's charging you 10 bucks on top of the 60 dollar new-and-shiny retail price. Did you buy those games new or used? Because if you bought them new, you wouldn't have been hit with any extra fees anyway, so it would have been exactly the same. If you bought those games used, then the publisher wouldn't have counted that as a sale anyway, because they didn't make any profit off of your purchase; they wouldn't notice a drop in sales because they don't keep track of used sales anyway. There are more important things in the world to be scared of than online fees for video games.

I don't see the big deal. The used game market kills developers and is the lifeblood of shitty retailers like Gamestop. Anything that puts a dent in their business is fine by me. It's not like you save that much buying recently released used games anyway. You could buy a new game on Amazon for just as much, or even less.

No, he's right. True Brit is amazing.

What if Jor-El and Lara Lor-Van had a rocketship big enough to save themselves along either infant son Kal-El? What if they also went to Earth? There's a new 3-issue Elseworlds mini-series that DC is putting out this August that runs with that premise. Solicitation on DC's Site Interview with Cary Bates, the writer I love Superman stories that examine and spin the origin in interesting ways (like Red Son). This should be pretty exciting.

We have trains.

What's wrong with that?

Why? How is that at all exciting? Couldn't you just use another Linux distro on a netbook? I just don't really see the appeal besides maybe fast boot time.

Try to stay on-topic guys. Project threads aren't for general discussion.

Maybe she just likes it?

Final Fantasy 7.

Fireballs are OP.

Excellent show. Check out the manga, the story is different and goes further in developing the characters.

Very good, but yeah, too short. Need more.

Yes you can. How else are you supposed to develop a vocabulary?
