The goal is to wipe out the used games market.

They've determined that it's more profitable to suck $30 out of people every year and pummel them with DLC and kill the used market.

Uh, yeah, if I wanted any confirmation that this console generation should die, this is it.

Maybe, although blasting the secondary market can have effects on the primary market by directly and tangibly increasing their lifetime cost. I'd hazard to guess that the most valuable consumers don't hang onto their games until they reach $0 residual value.

I'm a collector. I don't really buy any games unless I plan on holding onto it forever. Steam is really the only exception, and hopefully I can pass that on after I'm dead too.
