5 Star Wars Games We Actually Want to See
10 hours 27 mins ago
Used games being sold is causing a lot of debate within the industry. Dan DeMatteo, the chief executive officer of GameStop, recently partook in an interview with Victor Godinez of the Dallas Morning News to try and clear the air. The case being that used game sales are in fact good for the developers and publishers.
The three complaints addressed were immediate sell backs, the resales as second hand games and gamers knowing they can make back a decent amount of the money if they sell it quickly after purchase.
Dan DeMatteo is on a mission to prove these angry workers wrong. He'll be working on a report, hopefully with good enough statistics, to prove that the sales of used games are in fact good for the industry.
"DeMatteo seemed pretty frustrated about the growing rumblings from developers about used games," Godinez said. "And it sounds like GameStop is going to embark on an effort after the holidays to explain to game makers why the used market is good for them, including getting an outside research firm to vet these numbers."
