Gamestop Doesn't Hurt New Game Sales: Now Shut Up

Gamestop Doesn't Hurt New Game Sales: Now Shut Up

Last week, on a whim, I decided to read a couple articles about David Jones, the creator of Crackdown (the videogame, for realz). Apparently he found used games in his vagina and is now contributing their sale to the lack of new games sold. In particular, his game. This also reminded me of when I read about how Dead Space sold 1.5 million copies while 3 million people have played it. This may sound alarming, but I assure you it is not. What is alarming though, is how much publishers and developers are bitching about the used game market.

To them I have one thing to say; suck my fucking cock.

Quote time! This one is from David Jones:

With Crackdown we sold about 1.5 million copies, but even at that we pretty much only managed to break even. It was due to the amount of factors that were out of our control as the developer, influences such as GameStop’s amazing used-game sales; we know 1.5 million new copies were sold, but it’s likely there were 2.5, three million sold when you include used.

Oh how I <3 quotes, they make the article longer and I don't have to write anything! But anyway, someone should tell him selling 1.5 million games is a GOOD THING. It was brand new IP for godsakes, of top 75 best on Xbox 360 only 11 were IP! Stop bitching, it's not like you shipped Too Human, sold one (and more fun games) 360. I'm sure can add that your resume.

Now time address issue at hand, blame everyone lays Gamestop used game market in general. You understand something, people who buy DON'T BUY NEW GAMES, although there are some exceptions. Everyone knows first one, if fucking bee's knees will go out it. Other than that, buyers generally break their rules Madden Halo, but purchase these by trading all games. The second part this fact exists, cannot change. Whenever sell something always be method them pawning it off else. can't stop Johnny from HE OWNS, so complaining twats. If didn't exist would happen somewhere else, same hate paying full price seek where. This may shock folks videogame industry, gets paid tons money design videogames.

When comes his 3 dollar mark, he's completely delusional. He obviously budged least 2.5 copies game, appealing enough copies. It's because being sneaky-sneaky stealing Crackdown or copying friend's copy, weren't buying Who how many just could play Halo 3, maybe without he 1.1 copies.

In short: David, our fault broke even, spending too much general douche.

Love,

Rich
