[QUOTE="codezer0, post: 4839348, member: 187684"] See, I think the thing is that many people that were for the Xbox One's original DRM plan were only so doing because they thought it would finally mean the end of GameStop and its obnoxious business practices and policies. The problem is that if you read it carefully, you'd realize that the xbox one would have had this for only [I]authorized retailers[/I] could resell the games... of which of course Gamestop was going to sign up to be one. So it wouldn't have got rid of them at all. Instead it would have gotten rid of the smaller, independent stores' ability to deal with used games for those systems, and made Gamestop's grip even more draconian and ridiculous. And believe me, I want to see Gamestop get their just desserts as much as anyone else here with an axe to grind with that god-forsaken chain. It's bad enough here on the West Coast, but it's even worse on the East coast because they have effectively killed off all competition in terms of any reselling of video game merchandise... and they are extremely arbitrary of what they will accept, much less pay for. The amount of issues I have with them would be far too numerous to list at this time, and not really serve this thread any. There definitely does need to be a more sensibile approach to used games... and one that gets the corporate bean counters out of the process as much as possible, if not completely. That much is certain. [/QUOTE]
