The point went way over your guys' heads.

It's common knowledge that buying games used hurts the developer. It's not debatable. It's a fact.

That is just a very simplistic and naive way of look at things. It is certainly not a fact sir. You have chosen time and time again not to tackle the scenarios i have set out.

If you want to ignore the real debate and set out some under-detailed generalisations then by all means please do. Its not a meaningful way to converse.

And Slapshot, i dont know how old you are, but your comments about the govornment may change in life. Never, ever take what your government says for fact. Never.

Try the section on that blog about how the Government spent 54,000,000 which had been promised to Tax Credit worthy citizens, which went on to line the pockets of civil sevants. Also i work on MOD contracts, youd shit yourself if you knew how much money this country pisses away every day.

The worlds Governements, all of them, are the most corrupt organisations known to man. And BTW, try "The Lounge" if you wanna have that debate. Im sure it'll go dwon well there.

Online passes are useless. They're only doing it because when you buy a game used the store gets the money and not the Developers. So theyre losing £30-£40 so they at least want some money so they rob a Tenner off you.

which is why it's totally acceptable.

When you buy games used, you're basically doing the same thing when you pirate movies or music. If a developer loses a ton of money, how do you expect the budget to be bigger for the next game? Buying games new is just a way to help the developer, and you should do it if you like the game franchise.

So when i borrow a game from my brother im actually stealing it as i didnt buy a new copy, hell its just like pirating right ?

And when i bought my used car I was actually stealing it by not buying a new one from Mercedes ? (You try buying a f***ing new mercedes LOL)

What about my house ? People used to live in it before i took out a mortgage. Did i steal the house because i bought it useed, or in your crazy world should i download a code to get full access to my toilet ? What if i let my brother use my toilet ? Is he then stealing aswell ? Should he use his own code ? Afterall the guy who sells NEW houses and toilets just got shafted huh ?

Not only that but as i have said before, i do not go into E.A's bank account and steal £50 off of them buy buying a used game do i ? They dont LOSE anything. And i would never have bought BF3 new anyway, so they didnt even lose a POTENTIAL £50. Im gettign sick of repeating that.

Also, it would help E.A make better games if they robbed a bank, if they embezzled millions in a ponzi scheme or printed counterfit money, should they do that aswell as it will make them money if thats all its about ? Its not a good argument. Morality comes in sometimes.

And on a final note I DONT like the BF3 franchise enough to give em more money. I just dont, i dont care how big their budget is for next time. Maybe if they made the best FPS out there they wouldnt have to claw back petty cash like some desperate old beggar. And hey, maybe if the multiplayer was decent and free for all users i would get into the series and buy the next one new. No chance now huh ?

O-Or did you just skip through this conversation NOT reading it all ? This has all been covered already, you are way behind and making points which have been smashed to bits.

Heres a Prime example of why E.A are self defeating arseholes.

I picked up MW3 on Saturday, took it home and played it online with no bullshit. Took it to my mates and played it on his X-Box, again no bullshit then took it to my brothers and again played it on a third X-Box with no crap.

After seeing how good it looks and playes and after i told them about the BF3 multiplayer pass code thing my brother now wants a copy, and my mate cancelled his PS3 BF3 pre-ordered copy and is buying an entire MW3 styled X-box and a limited edition MW3 game intead. Not only that, but even the deposit he lost on the game goes to the store, and NOT E.A ! YAS !!!!

I would like to make it VERY clear E.A. I personally just "lost you" according to some of the guys in here £100. Yup, thats me helping to lose your company sales on purpose you greedy twats. And i just made Activision and the COD muppets an extra £100+

Go F**k your selves E.A

Im gonna lend my MW3 copy to everyone and get em all to buy it over BF3. I would have been standing here championing both games and trying not to start a fued, but i cannot stand greed like that. I boycott E.A from now on.

BF3 actually looks pretty decent aswell. But Not that f'ing good.
