    The Future of Used Games?

    Exactly. Ebay will not be included unless there is a way to track the sales of the game.... They would have to prevent you from listing it as something outside an XB1 game, then probably charge you an extra fee on top of their own %... which would be interesting because we'd get a look at what gamestop is getting. I personally think its absurd that Gamestop offers MS points and other things you can purchase from your console... I have never bought a used game from gamestop because of their insane pricing, and I never will. I don't feel sorry for any middle man getting the shaft from the deal. With all the developer layoffs and the closing of lucasarts, its apparent the gaming industry cannot continue how it has been operating.. especially since EA and Activision practically own every single developer.

The user could be given 10 codes that their friends could enter upon borrowing the game. The code would allow them to play the game for an unlimited time for a month. Or maybe they could treat it like a prepaid cellphone plan and give the borrower 50 hours... at least 1/2 to 3/4 of the average Triple A RPG. Or assessing the average game completion among its online users, give each borrower half that allotted time. If you're game is good, the user will surely buy it. This would push developers to make games people want to play, while not fully screwing over people that borrow games. The only 2 games I've ever purchased after playing the demo was God of War and Limbo.... I don't know how the rest of gamers would feel.... but the 1/2 time would work for me in some cases.
