isn't this a bit messed up

If they do this, I am so going to break out all my old sytems and not buy anything else until they stop the greed. I have quite the collection and could potentially entertain myself for years, especially with how much housework I have. And I also have a wife to spend my time with. They will officially ruin the video game market, due to their greed.

Also I see the ground work being laid for this kind of thing already. I made the mistake of getting an android phone. The damn thing won't let me play games unless I have an active internet connection and let them not only see what I am playing but when and where as well. This is a violation of privacy, but useful I guess. I watch my porn on my computer, because I can use peerblock to make sure google doesn't know what I am into. Not that it is bad or anything, I just don't feel it is their business. It probably won't be long before I get charged on my phone bill every time I play one of the games, even if over a wifi connection.

I don't have much of a problem with companies cracking down on second hand games. My problem is that such decisions are made by the publishers, and not the game developers.

If this kind of crap goes through.....I'm going to start my own pirating ring and wear a mask so no one knows who the hell I am. I will become a symbol of justice for all gamers!
