Re: The trend of pre-order exclusives..

In Response To: Re: The trend of pre-order exclusives.. (Metalingus627)

: It's not like it's going to be impossible to purchase a game after a set
: period of time. This isn't the film industry, there's not a set number of
: weeks where a game is going to even be available at any given store. If
: you wait a few days, weeks, or even months before you decide to purchase a
: new title (especially if your waiting for a price to go down), there is
: absolutely no reason that makes you any less of a fan.

I believe the quoted statements fall well within the acceptable exceptions I mentioned.

Cody was pushing the 'buy used' scenario as a side comment to the OP. At least, that was my impression. I am of the opinion, someone who is an existing fan of a game, should see that it is in their best interest to acquire new versions of that game at retail prices and in a timely fashion.

It's kind of the least thing you could do to support the industry and community of fellow fans of that game. I doubt we would ever see repeat games of the calibre of Halo if large numbers of gamers were all of the 'wait until it is a used game' mentality.

There is nothing wrong with buying a used game. If you like that game to the point of being a fan, you should step it up and plan to get the next one new.

Again, all reasonable circumstances excepted. I am in no way intending to attack people who just don't have the means to acquire the games they desire.

I have a son who goes through used games by the dozen. He buys them used, plays them out and then they just lay around. He could care less if a company ever made a better version of that game from the retail revenues. I do not consider him to be a fan of any of those games.
