if i uninstall a game, charge a friend $5, and then send them a link to a torrent, does that count as a used sale?

I have to wonder how it took two people a year to clone an existing game

Time invested and skill/experience differences? I would have finished the game I'm working on 6 months ago if I was more skilled at level design and graphics or working with more people etc.

No, because there's nothing stopping you from reinstalling. Or are we following the ethics of sharing digital goods as physical ones?

And there is nothing stopping him from doing the same to somebody else, then that person to somebody else and so on... therefore everybody would be basically buying it for 5$ rather than 10-20 or 30 bucks; therefore losing the developers money.

New Techland game. It's a cool concept but this quote makes me question how fun it will be...
"Play Hellraid solo or with friends for hundreds of hours and never get bored!"

Bugs putting the Hell in Hellraid.

maybe future generations will be less confused about the distinction between paying for a licence to use something and paying for a physical object. people of today just seem to be hopelessly unable to grasp such a thing.

Any time consumers hear "You only have a license to run this software", it's immediately translated to "Fuck you, a billion times, in the ass".

People like to own the things they buy.

Car manufacturers have been doing the shit games companies are experimenting with for years, though.

I bought a car new when I got my first job (I still have it, ten years later) and it came with a load of first-owner perks. I got the first three years' servicing and maintenance free, I get MOTs (UK mandatory annual roadworthiness test) free if I take it back to the dealership, I can drop in and drink their coffee in a little bar area whenever I want, etc. ... and none of these perks are transferable to subsequent owners.


(I hope you didn't think for a minute that EA were doing something original...! ;-)

At least in mexico, Car companies usually have their own Used Car lots. They supposedly stamp with a seal of a quality (not really, usually they underprice for buying and overprice for selling) used car and sell it far more expensive than everyone else. So EA should have an used game store.
