5 Things Every Game Company Gets Wrong About Gamers. I don't remember anything about this because I bookmarked it for my next links post about a week ago. It's written by David Wong and I just read his first book John Dies at the End. It was pretty fantastic. Also Loren, I let Kinion borrow that. I figured at least this way it's closer to you now.
Used Games and "AAA" Games are Incompatible? Good. This article I remember a bit more than the last one. Essentially Cliffy B of Gears of War fame said that big blockbuster games are incompatible with the used game market because so much money goes into them they can't afford all the lost sales. Which as I've always said is complete BS. Someone that buys a used game is doing so because he's trying to save some coin on a new game. I've bought all kinds of cheap used games that I never would have bought new. Also all there are a lot of gamers that pre-order games knowing that they can sell them after playing them for a couple days. Take that away from them and how much do your pre-orders suffer? Anyway this is moot because this was all in relation to the extreme DRM of the Xbone and that cow is out of the barn now. Of course how long do we have to wait for the return of season passes?
A Quick Note on Savage Steve Holland's Better Off Dead. Better off Dead is a fantastic movie. I mean I like One Crazy Summer a bit better simply because it's more polished (and the ferrari boat!) Still if somehow you've missed this gem from the 80s go check it out.
