Default Re: Activision Making Moves to Combat Used-Game Market

As far as I know, the used game market has only recently taken off in the huge way it has. I'm assuming it's a largely undefined area, as in who gets what money. I wouldn't be against video games companies taking a small pecentage (say 3-5%) of used game sales as all the shops mark up the games by a lot to make some money from them.

I assume they also get some money from game rentals, so this isn't as big of a problem imo.

But yeah, they're making lots of money from games sales as it is. However, I can see used games affecting smaller companies more than it affects Activision and companies of that size.
