“I’ve talked to some developers who are saying ‘If you want to fight the final boss you go online and pay USD 20, but if you bought the retail version you got it for free’. We don’t make any money when someone rents it, and we don’t make any money when someone buys it used - way more than twice as many people played Gears than bought it.”

Man, whatever company tries something like this, I would sure as hell make sure that every single game of theirs from then on gets pirated so that they go out of business...

If they keep this kind of crap up, I wouldn't be surprised if we had another crash like in 1984.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that if this happened I'd rather spend a grand to set up a hardcore, round the clock pirating rig than spend the $20.

Wait for the traditional "That was taken out of context" comment.
