Is the used Game Industry really hurting the Industry?

Pre-owned games market "damaging" single-player games - Braben

 As a consumer I agree with Braben on this one.  In fact, though it might not be a 'popular' idea, I've sent unsolicited suggestions reccomending the "Trophy" or "Achievement" systems could be utilized to ensure only the first 'Owner' of a Game unlocks a particular Trophy therefore Used games would not be 'completable' to 100% for 'bragging rights' without Full Retail Purchase.  Might not eliminate the problem, but in the long run protection of the value of licensed materials and reduction of Piracy in any form should benefit consumer & developer alike.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9227d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
