Actually a game is a lot like a car, it does suffer from wear and tear. Have you tried to play doom on a window 7 pc? or Monkey Island? or any game over 10 years old? It doesn't work with out a new port of it or using DosBox. There are tons of old games that become relics as the new pc's emerge.
I keep most every game I have bought, I like to be able to rummage my shelf and pull out a game I enjoyed for days on end. I also like to go to yard sales and find old games I missed playing as I didn't have the money back then.
If a game studio wants my money, make a game that is worth playing for more then 10 minutes. Get away from chasing the movie titles with your crap games and create something new. And a little hint, it's not just about graphics. Game play is far more important to me.
I draw and I buy drawings, my uncle writes music and creates his own cd's, Mike makes blogs, my fiance paints and decorates her houses, we all make things and we all buy things.
DRM/Copyright is a new idea originally ment to help small upstarts get going, it was not ment for companies to use it to squash any competition.
I don't care if you come up with an idea and try to sell it, if someone else can do the same thing faster and cheaper thats where my money goes, unless of course yours is of better quality then you get my money.
The sooner copyright dies the sooner we can move on and really start creating art again.
Walmart sells rated R movies so I can't see a business justification to remove them. They only sensor the music cd's. Which I do find this to be odd but thats how they operate. Please correct me if I'm mistaken. :-)
LMFAO! If someone wanted to copy my lemonade so badly then so be it. Its not like they sent a copy of the cd to every person on earth, or even in his neighbor hood. This is music. Your supposed to write songs because you love to write songs, not because I'm supposed to buy it to make you rich.
If that many bands took the time to make an album that they didn’t make money off of, he should be honored. Even if they did horrible on the songs they took a lot of their time to show how much they like the artist. Prince's response is an insult anyway you look at it. If he is that hard up for money, he will be even more now that people see the true side of him.

Re: "Most people are both creators and consumers at the same time" WRONG !!
