31: Used Games Are Not Evil
Originally Broadcast 2011/12/16: Between Microsoft's recent attempts to make used games impossible with the Xbox One, and our even more recent discovery that Famicom Dojo Season 1 DVDs are being sold used on Amazon, we though it was time to trot out this little gem again.
With a slow shift to digital-only content, and the inability to share such content like you would lend a book or a disc, and publishers deliberately devaluing their game content through the use of activation codes and central server authenticaion, will there ever come a time when used games become a thing of the past?
Sean and Vinnk explore why console games cost so much, why iOS games cost so little, and the ruin that would be visited upon the gaming industry if no one could lend out their games or buy used ones ever again.
Details about the podcast, links to related articles, and supplemental audio/video are available at FamicomDojo.TV: https://famicomdojo.tv/podcast/31
