Developers complaining about resale is getting old.

Developers complaining about resale is getting old. They incorrectly say,developers get none of the money from a resold game.When Goodfellajay sells games, I’m usually using the revenue for new games. There’s a trickling up to the developer. In completely digital, I can’t raise that revenue, and the poorer, used-game buyer has no way to afford it. Even the used-game buyer might spend some money in expansions that go to the developer, but not if they can’t afford the game in the first place. So the developers will have to lower their prices when games are digital, like steam does,and they’ll end up with probably the same revenue they currently get (but with a lot less overhead cost).Yummy2289 http://n4g.com/news/submit#... Goodfellajay will debate that.

very true..its hard..out here...podcast im on them..we are looking out for the gamers

joe915508d ago

good podcast...alot of info..and funny

Dart895508d ago

Am i the only one who feels like going on a rampage to some of these developers offices that want to pass this online pass crap.

Some of these developers must not have brains can't they see the economy were in and not everyone can afford games at full price.

goodfellajay5508d ago

very tur man..i said it in the podcast..this will crash again..like 1983..they did it then..and will do it again

... Lower price means more customers but lower profit per customer... higher price means fewer customer, but higher profit per customer.
In business, the two have to be balanced to net the biggest profit. It's not the developpers who decide this, it's the publisher and the investors behind it.

If these companies are going for the online pass, it means they believe that their product will get bought. I'm fine with it as long as it means free DLC (as in BC2's case... which was mostly disc-locked content, but had 4 new maps at least) and dedicated servers. Something that shows that the money is actually going somewhere that improves the gaming experience instead of some dark money vault.

well they need to do something

Why the Wii is Such a Nostalgic System in 2026

The Wii is now a retro console. Let’s get nostalgic about an often maligned system.

Crazy to think the WII is to the Switch 2, as the NES was to the WII back then. 20 Year difference.

jznrpg4d ago

My wife asks me to bust it out (heh) everyone once in a while to play bowling and tennis with the kids. There was a ton of slop on it but some good stuff as well.

Smellsforfree4d ago

Wii was great but boy howdy did it cause Microsoft to go on a dark walk with the Kinect and the disastrous XBox One launch that they arguably never recovered from.

Loktai4d ago

Not nostalgic for me.. I was there.. anyone who wasnt a little kid realized it was a gamecube with shit tacked onto it, it was the "joke" system and was well below even the switch in terms of comparing it to the latest machines at the time. The machine was well loved by young people and "casual gamers" who now remember it 20 years on, or in most cases more of its sales came in the 15-20 years ago range not right at launch- but again its not nostalgic for people who were "gamers" then really, just for those who ended up with one in their house, the games , graphics, interface and online features were archaic already in 2006.

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde5d ago

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy6d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

PlayStation legend Shuhei Yoshida says Jim Ryan fired him because he didn't listen to him

Why did Sony push Shuhei Yoshida out of his role leading PlayStation's first-party games? He'd overseen some huge successes. Well, apparently, he didn't listen.

Yeah I can see that for sure. Shuhei Yoshida should have been in charge not Jim Ryan.

Cacabunga7d ago

It should be free highway for him now.. but Sony are too stupid to see this, especially that moron Hulst

S2Killinit7d ago (Edited 7d ago )

Wtf why all that anger. PlayStation is dominating on every level. Besides I think there is a little more to hiring a CEO than just who is available. Its not like its a athlete your team wants to buy.

neutralgamer19926d ago

S2Killinit

live service failures, chasing trends, closing studios. yes dominating

Cacabunga6d ago

Sony is Dominating because competition is not existing. Compared to previous gens this is the poorest in terms of software offerings.

Last gen we got Uncharted 4 Lost Legacy and TLOU2 from ND alone.

This is so far a remasters gen, with no competition to lift up the quality

1nsomniac6d ago (Edited 6d ago )

..."PlayStation is dominating on every level"....

...Really???

PlayStation are soon heading into a new generation in the not to distant future. They currently have the worst customer satisfaction they've ever sustained as a company. The company is heading for a huge crash while at the same time they'll need to be planning how they are going to try and win back that favour and the build up to their new releases.

Yes financially they're winning but they're going to have to ride out this complete public corporate disaster. No one has faith in the company or the product anymore. They've damaged their public image so much this generation. Greed can kill anyone.

medman6d ago

Hulst is a disaster......

blacktiger6d ago

He would've done the same thing and fire Jim Ryan and Shuhei would be the villain. Why?
Because Elite creates the narrative and distraction for gamers, users and citizens.

Outside_ofthe_Box7d ago

More confirmation that Jim Ryan is the culprit for what has happened to Sony. Hulst needs to go too. What sucks is that a lot of the good top heads at Sony are no longer there. I wish that guys that were forced out prematurely by Dumbo Jimbo like Shuhei and Layden came back.

robtion6d ago

Yep. Yoshida was responsible for bringing one of the best games of this generation to playstation (Stellar Blade). He is an actual gamer and is in touch with what gamers want (creative, fun games, not GaaS and agenda pushing). He also seems like a genuinely nice guy if you watch some interviews. Of course they got rid of him.

darthv727d ago

Makes you wonder if MS even thought about hiring him after Phil and Sarah were leaving. He certainly couldn't make their situation any worse.

Agent757d ago

Microflop. After Windows XP and Xbox 360, it all went floppy.

S2Killinit7d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz1497d ago

Yoshida for President! Jim Ryan was and always be a hack! Sony should get Shu back

Lightning777d ago

All the gamer/consumer lead heads are gone across PS and Xbox. shuhei gone phil's gone (questionable) but gone. The future of gaming is somewhat uncertain across the board.
