Re: That is not my problem

: Simple is right - as in simply thought out.

: actually sacrificing nothing in making this stand - you still get to enjoy

I never said I liked the fact my sale wouldn't be counted, or that I liked the fact Bungie wasn't getting anything from me. I hate that. Find me a way to purchase their next game new, WITHOUT giving Activision a cut, and I'll do it. Until then, this is the lesser of two evils in my book. I either fund a publisher that stands for everything I hate in gaming, or I buy used and give no one anything.

And you know what else? You really seem to blow this WAY out of proportion. The number of used sales for any triple A title are not going to impact it's bottom line in any substantial way, no matter how much the publisher may complain. Yes. It's lost revenue for them. But they just made how many millions if not billions of dollars? It's the equivalent of a billionaire counting all his money every day, only to discover one morning he's short a thousand dollars. Whoopie.

Jesus... It's not like I don't have OTHER WAYS to give Bungie my hard earned dollar. Other ways that feed DIRECTLY to them. Get off your high horse about not supporting a company I love. It's bullshit.
