Take-Two Boss: “If Microsoft Has Figured Out A Way To Tax Used Games, Then We Should Get Paid, Too”

Strauss Zelnick, CEO of Take-Two, has entered the used game market debate stating that “if Microsoft has figured out a way to tax used games, then we should get paid, too”.

Microsoft will enforce a fee for those wishing to play used games on the Xbox One. Take-Two believe that publishers should also get a share from this fee, “it’s hard to imagine why they should and we shouldn’t”, Zelnick added.
Zelnick further went on to say that Take-Two’s opinion on used games isn’t sour at all, they don’t “whine” over the worry of losing revenue. Instead they would rather focus on providing a gaming experience that will, in a way, stop the gamer from ever trading such game into a retailer.

“Let’s push up quality… and then let’s make sure to give people DLC, often free, three or four weeks out”. This he believes is the critical time for a decision to trade in a game will be made. Hopefully this philosophy will long continue with titles releasing on next gen consoles.
Tipul asta stie ce vorbeste, a inteles cum sta treaba. Asa il faci pe cel care ti-a cumparat jocul sa il pastreze in continuare. Cresterea calitatii jocului plus DLC-uri gratuite in prima luna de la lansare si majoritatea nu vor mai vinde jocul mai departe. Deja dupa o luna, pretul jocului poate ajunge la jumatate fata de cel initial, nu va mai fi rentabil sa-l vinzi.
