EA to charge extra for used games

I bought my last copy of madden 2 years ago. Same game every year. I'll just play 2k4 till I die thanks. That's ridiculous of EA to charge for multiplayer. The only time a game should cost extra for multiplayer is if the company will need the money for server upkeep, like many MMORPGs.

DLC is killing games. Pay 60 bucks for a game, then they want you to pay 10-15 bucks MORE for stuff that should have been included.

Yeah. Microsoft encourages it as well. DVD9...lol

But not everyone is charging for it. DLC is fine when free, but to charge.. is ridiculous. But gamers support it when they buy it.

Microsoft doesn't encourage DLC because of DVD9.

Most video in current-gen games is uncompressed and there is untold amounts of duplicate data to help reduce load times.

A current gen game that is 6-7 GB may only have about 2-3 GB worth of information.

Don't fall for Sony's hype about blu-ray.

Developers are getting tired of Gamestop taking a big chunk of their revenue.

how?? The developers got their money for the game already when it was bought the first time. If the consumer decides to sell it, that's their business. EA found a new cow to milk. Nothing more.

So.. if me and a few friends want to go buy some games we haven't yet played, then go to the used section at Gamestop and buy them.

Where does that money go to?

Then why was the 360 version of Final Fantasy 13 on 3 disc? So you think 7 gigs of disc space is fine? And Microsoft did cut corners all around the 360 when making it. So I do believe MS does encourage DLC with DVD9

I honestly see nothing positive about DVD9.

"Don't fall for Sony's hype about blu-ray." Yeah and tell that to their developers...

It goes to Gamestop. I wasn't trying to say otherwise. My point is that once the game was bought at full price from Wally World or Worst Buy, it became the property of the buyer. Also, once he trades it in at Gamestop, he isn't going to play it anymore.

If you buy a car from Bob's Car Lot and sell it a year later, does Bob come after the new owner of the car for more money so he can have the keys to drive it???

This is money grab on the part of EA. Maybe they should try to make more games like BC2 that people won't be looking to get rid of a week after they buy it.

      The Carolina Panthers should go back to Bryce Young

      By Navy_football · Posted

      Sir, remove the emotion. Andy completed 11 passes for 93 yards against the Commanders. That's less than 8.5 yards per completion, not attempt, per completion. 10 yards from Bryce would be an improvement. And the locker room is in shambles right now anyway. I don't think Bryce will make it worse. Sure, he sucks but so does the team.

      Trade everyone and fully rebuild..

      Yeah and finding an equivalent LT in free agency would cost a LOT of money. It's going to be a lot easier to find the Chuba's and Johnson's than another capable LT. I get the historic anger at Ikey(largely from last season) but that OL group is the last thing I would start dropping bombs on(this includes moving Moton) if we have any desire to add a rookie QB in the next few seasons.

      You’re telling me if someone were to offer you a first round draft pick for Iky who’s better off playing guard than left tackle you wouldn’t take it?  I worked with a few of his post players and they both agreed he was a better NFL guard than left tackle that’s straight from their teammates mouth in college.   also, you mentioned a few post earlier the team is super injured and that’s why they’re playing bad. Remember the first two games where we got absolutely annihilated with our starters? I’m telling you from someone that’s built a business and rebuilt teams. It’s a culture. The culture is horrible.  Now that starts with Tepper but you still need talent even the starters weren’t playing well.    The point of the thread was to see what draft picks we can get for certain players not talking about people that are in their mid 50s an adolescent. You’re telling me national respected radio host on Sportsradio stations that share the same opinion the opinion that I actually got from them are adolescent temper tantrums?
