You have more opportunity than ever you idiot, and you sit there inventing problems and pissing off your customers.

Recurring revenue? Heard of the internet?

Re: Second-hand games 'threaten the industry as we know it'

Hasn't "the industry as we know it" involved second-hand games pretty much since it started? Surely removing them would be a bigger threat. Or are they using "the industry" as a euphemism for "our profits".
