ALL OF THEM SCUM.

Plume has the ability to mute apps, a function I used immediately for getglue, raptr, and 4square. Every time I have to use the computer for Twitter, it's shocking to see how many people still spam with those.

It's not about having too much faith in the modern day gamer, it's the fact that I've worked retail. People NEED to be able to buy and sell used games with out paying crazy fees. That is going to be a huge fucking turn off to the average person. A HUGE percentage of Gamestop's new sales come from people trading in games. This is going to make that so much more complicated/convoluted it's going to be a huge turn off once word of mouth spreads.

If publishers really think they are going to be able to charge $39.99 for year-old games with this system in place they are nuts. We'll see though.

Halo 5, $9.99 during a Memorial Day sale the year after release. If MS isn't ready to do that they are just wasting their time here.

I wonder if Kinect is going to be as hackable as it's been this gen.

**Some Stupid Japanese Name** · 24 May 2013, 03:39 PM

Everything is hackable.
Are people going to care enough to keep trying is the question.

I don't know about where you are, but every single tech-y art show out here seems to have somebody fucking around with the Kinect lately. Sometimes it's really good! Sometimes not.

People seem to like a cheap pre-fabbed sensor array that's massively available.

Yeah, the only way I see all of this used game bullshit working out is if it's all paired with a really strong push for day-one digital distribution coupled with aggressive pricing, pricing that the used game tax would then reflect.

They've already confirmed that a PC version is coming out so it should be.

That's great, and has no bearing on what I stated.
It may be harder to hack. If people really want to hack it though, they will.
