He's playing dumb. He knows that both MS and the publisher get a slice of the used game sale.

MikeMyers4023d ago

They are probably still in negotiations but of course they will want a piece of the pie as they should.

CaptainFaisal4023d ago

Ok pal how much did microsh!t pay you to say that BS about Used games?
PS4 FTW!

karan74023d ago

i cant wait for the game tbh , wish it was a sony exclusive :/

PhantomT14124023d ago

He's actually pointing the finger at Microsoft because in the current -foggy and unclear- form of how used games will be handled on Xbox One, only MS would get a profit and not the publisher. I sure don't hope this crappy MS used-game policy work, but it's fair to ask in this case why the publisher doesn't get any cuts when it comes to used sales, and only the console manufacturer would.

Plus, I pretty much agree with what he says: if you want to "fight" second hand markets, make good games that people won't want to let go. I worked at a game retailer, I didn't see many Grand Theft Autos in the used game baskets. On the other hand, don't expect people to buy your average "meh" games if they know they cannot resell it later, I actually think used game markets help you boost sales on these kinds of products.

"You're going to have to have multiple protagonist in video games going forward". Never in video game history has there been a need for multiple protagonist so why the need now? Watch Dogs is coming to take the crown and will be on all consoles, not just current gen. I think they're right about the MMOs in US though.

i think the only real loss is GTAV

OtterX12d ago

I think everyone and their sister owns the game by now. They likely want to squeeze the rest of the holdouts before GTAVI releases.

Profchaos11d ago

That game comes and goes from subscriptions so frequently I think it's expected now. Like rdr2 on gamepass Rockstar Games only last a max of 3 months On a service

MrBaskerville11d ago

Talos Principle is the real loss.

BanginTunes11d ago

Facts that game is good as fuck I'm playing through 2 now, very underrated

Huey_My_D_Long12d ago

indivisible was pretty neat. Cute artstyle, fun throwback to older RPGs, shame its leaving but it is on sale often

shinoff218312d ago

Definitely. I e joyed what I played of it. Still gotta grab the physical at some point

Petebloodyonion12d ago

I'm not surprised by GTA V removal, Rockstar never allows this game to stay long on a subscription service.
They usually allow 4 to 6 months.

lodossrage12d ago

Yeah, they do that routinely with both GTA and Red Dead.

But it's because they know they can still sell them so they take them off and on to these sub services in cycle.

The weird thing to me is why is anyone still buying those games at this point? You would think after 3 generations of being sold GTA 5 that everyone and their momma would have it by now

RNTody11d ago

I fail to see how the loss of an almost 11 year old game that released across 3 generations is in any way a problem.
