And they complain about piracy....

And wouldn't you if you were a software or game manufacturer and people were taking your work for free?

Where's the theft?

When you purchase a used game EA still gets its cut; in effect, it's already getting two bites at the apple... this is a third bite; an unnecessary charge they're asserting only because they can.

Not always. Private sales and the majority of stores do not pass any payment onwards.


It's the same as if you buy a second hand car. No profit is passed back on to the car manufacturer.


At any rate, Evil Arts can bite it.

sounds like nowadays most of the game developers are pushing pc gamers into console gaming

It's where the money is these days

well console gaming have a higher defense on piracy i suppose. Thats why they push pc gamers into console gaming
