Used Game Market Not the Problem, Lack of New Purchase Incentive the Real Issue

Ripten writes: "Look, I've been reading a heap of articles lately citing both the Eurogamer and 1up sit down with Frontier Developments' founder, David Braben, and I simply couldn't take it anymore.

For those of you that missed the hoopla, Braben's gripe is that the used game market will eventually kill the single player aspect of games and force all developers to focus instead on multiplayer due to its high replay factor. While I agree that multiplayer does offer a much higher replay value, I certainly don't agree with his proposed fix."

Ripten's Chad Lakkis proceeds to share his thoughts on what developers should be focusing on instead of creating non resale game alternatives.
