[citation][nom]mayzie[/nom]Do I need to go on?No allow me, these are not comparable at all. A better example of similar business would be movies or concerts where tickets are used once per person. It is also common business practice to try and maximise your profits, especially when you have extremely tight margins.We are at a user pay situation for so much of our other things in life so gamers are going to have to accept it too as it inevitably spreads more into their lives. Boycotts are such idle talk, go get a job and you won't worry about little issues like this.[/citation]
do i have to go into the whole "get a job" thing again? a minimum wage job, or close to ($10~) only pays enough barely live outside of a ghetto, and even than, at the end of the month, if you have even close to $100 left over, you are @$%@ing lucky.
you see, with movies and concerts, you can resell your ticket. i just looked it up on wiki, i live in the united states, and for the most part, if you aren't on the premises when you sell, its for the most anything goes.
besides, tickets are a one time use item. you cant go and rewatch it with the same ticket.
a video game, once its sold, is sold forever. there will always be that copy.
the ticket system sickens me to no @$^&ing end, that companies are that @$^*&ing greedy they have to nickel and dime us in every mother !@#%ing way possible.
