    A symptom of a larger problem. Nobody would give a shit about used games if the industry was healthy.

    This would be the perfect time for some propaganda posters.

    Improved.


    Also, if your game isn't one shot fire-and-forget experience, then maybe people won't be trading it in en-masse? I mean long tail is good, but what exactly has changed since times when it was an important source of profit?

    Only good inhouse IP that Nintendo has is Metroid. If they fuck up the third-party support, they're toast.

    When I was a little kid, I enjoyed Super Mario and Mario 64. But I'm not a little kid anymore, so fuck off.

    Denis. More like penis, amirite.

    On a serious note, the shit game devs are pushing to justify their retarded policies starts to be unbearable.

    Dennis doesn't really need to lower himself, I mean, in his whole career, he managed to design two good game (LoK, Eternal Darkness). It's just that he needs to shut up about everything else.
