The rumor mill has gone back and forth a number of times regarding whether or not next-generation video game consoles from Microsoft and Sony will support used games. While GameStop CEO Paul Raines seems confident they will — GameStop’s business relies on the resale of used games — game developers clearly stand to benefit if consoles force their owners to purchase new copies of games rather than used copies. ”From a business perspective that would be absolutely awesome,” Rasmus Højengaard, director of creative development at Crytek — the developer behind Crysis 3 and the CryENGINE gaming platform — told CVG in an interview. “It’s weird that [second-hand] is still allowed because it doesn’t work like that in any other software industries, so it would be great if they could somehow fix that issue as well.” Højengaard did not offer any insights on whether or not Microsoft and Sony actually plan to take measures to prevent console owners from playing used games.

People that buy used, buy used because the games are cheaper. If that wasn't possible to play used games then those that play used game would just wait till the price cames down in the store or wait till sale day. Anyway that how I used to do it and would again.

It would be ‘absolutely awesome’ if next-gen console games makers shut the f*ck up about blocking used games and concentrated on making good games instead of the crap they push out that is so bad that the best thing for them is to trade/sell them anyway.

make good games and people will keep them

I dont know who this Rasmus Højengaard is but he comes across a bit of a d**k.

And they all cry about piracy and then come out with bs like this. Yeah nice 1 d**khead.

The companies and console makers have been b*tching about blocking pre owned gaming since before the 360 was released.

@GregoryRasputin Only because they can't milk the DLC cow fast enough, I am looking at you Capcom.

It would be absolutely awesome if companies stopped trying to control us in next gen.

But we all know the opposite will happen.
