Re: From the Sounds of it. said by BF69:said by buzz_4_20:They really want to ban/charge for those used games. How dare something be yours after you pay for it. You can buy a used Ford from a neighbor. Does The local Ford dealer have an obligation to fix your car if your neighbor sold you a lemon? Nope. MS can disable used games if they want. It's dumb and shortsighted but legally there is nothing wrong with that. Ford, GM, Chrysler all tried this in the 70's and 80's. It's been over 30 years and they still have not fully recovered from the defections of people who went to Honda, Toyota, VW, etc., for a product that lasted, from owner to owner. Look at all the brands that have been axed because of no one wanted to buy a car that is built to die at 50k miles. If MS wants to re-invent that business model, then more power too'em and good luck. I sure as heck won't be buying into it.  |
