And thus spoke pc games... > That is really what I'm saying > Due to the decline in PC Game sales which is making less games being > made and released we should try and avoid using the 2nd hand market > and lending to friends cause both can reduce some sales I knew that this was your point. And sorry, it's wrong. Extremly wrong. First of all, you didn't prove that there's such a decline. And of course, there a HUGE demand for video games. So video games WILL be bought. If the industry has problems, than THEY will have to change something. It's not the gamers job to throw money out of their windows just to mask the errors of an industry. > The job of a fan is to support his hobby Is it? Nope. The gaming industry doesn't anything free for me. They want money. If they would make games for free, I would gladly donate money to them. > PC Games fans support their hobby and one of the ways to support their > hobby, PC Games is by protecting sales, cause only with good sales > will developers keep doing more games in the future You really don't understand the whole "supply and demand" concept, do you? There's a huge demand for video games and so companies will continue to supply. Simple as that. The idea that there won't be any games anymore is, sorry, bullshit. If the sales really decline, there's even a chance that the gaming industry starts making BETTER games because they've to compete for a smaller market - competition is GOOD for us consumers. So I say: BUY LESS (NEW) GAMES. Support the competition. Make it harder to sell games. Force them to produce quality, instead of quantity. Flo
