Used games are such a terrible thing for developers in so many ways haha. : (

Also everyone should read the first post. It isn't trolling, it is quite funny!

Palitera3566d ago

Indeed they surely would prefer if we couldn't trade bad or short games, removing value from the product and not lowering the price.

I already didnt buy DCUO for this scheme and probably won't support business in this direction as much as I can.

Soldierone3567d ago

Dangit.... I was so happy I didn't need to put in my disc to play it, and now that privilege will be gone when everyone exploits this..... :/

ForgottenProphecy3566d ago

yeah, it'd be too easy to borrow the disc from a buddy, or rent it, or buy it used from Gamestop and return it, then return it for full price. Very nice of Mojang, but it's much too easy to exploit like you said.

Minecraft has made so much money they don't need more XD but seriously they would have been better off adding a time limit like first month get it for £4 if u brought it last gen

I can't read this link at work (stupid internet filter...), but on the EU Playstation Blog they've stated the free upgrade of the disc version only works if you played the game on PS3 before 28th August 2014. Therefore we can't just buy/borrow the disc now to get the cheap upgrade :(

Not sure if it's different for rest of the world, but I know I can't exploit it lol

F*** AI

"Hey Copilot, what's a good meme to prove I dislike AI".... https://giphy.com/clips/sou...

Two trillion dollar company that just can't wait to put as many people possible out of work as fast as possible.

It feels like every single thing they do is making gaming worse and destroying the industry.

....you know it takes people to program the AI.... right? It isnt like it is sentient. We haven't reach skynet level of situation or anywhere close to the matrix just yet.

That's next Thursday.

Einhander197219d ago (Edited 19d ago )

It takes a people to program the AI then that AI is used for who knows how many games eliminating countless jobs which only grows as AI is used for more and more game creation functions.

What you're saying is so ridiculously short sighted and truly larking any kind of understanding and foresight.

Why all the hate? Im actually excited about this! Always wanted this kind of immersion, and an AI companion with me all the time helping me out knowing the status of my skills/inventory/progress and giving me tips on the best approach or how to craft something specific is game changing for the industry.

Hate all you want about AI, but this is just the start and I can see the potential already. You wont be complaining in the next 5-10 years about this, but rather complain if a game hasn’t implemented it.

MrDead20d ago

Yes we can't wait for the work of others to be used without the need to pay them so that MS can profit even more from the people they fire.

I_am_Batman20d ago (Edited 20d ago )

There is no chance I'd ever use something like this, especially if it's not part of the core game design, but a layer on top of it. It's way too much handholding. Many games already feel like busy work, because they don't let the player figure things out on their own. Having a real-time interactive guide defeats the purpose of playing the game in the first place in my opinion.

If this were to become the standard like you predict, we'll see more and more video games get away with bad design, because people will just be used to ask for help from the AI companion anyway.

Number1TailzFan20d ago

Well Nintendo don't need this with some of their games these days, with invincible characters, items, easy bosses etc.. they do the hand holding built in

helicoptergirl20d ago

Takes "hand holding" in games to a whole new level.

BlackDoomAx19d ago

Because human nature xD Almost every new technology had these kind of comments.

1 major advantage to this will be launching it straight from SteamVR. You have to make a custom shortcut to get it working right now in VR.

UltimateOwnage22d ago

This is good news. It will be much easier to get it installed on my devices without using workarounds.
