Capcom is tryting to kill used video game sales.

If this happens it will really suck. Basically what they are doing is creating games that can only support one save file — for life.

It's been confirmed that Resident Evil: Mercenaries 3D for the Nintendo 3DS is a game that once finished, cannot be reset for complete replay. According to both the U.S. and U.K. game's instruction manual "saved data on this software cannot be reset."

Basically what Capcom has done is make Mercenaries 3D a one-time play affair.

It's the capitalistic way, they have now found a new way for everyone to have to buy the game!

EA is doing a similar thing with all their titles. Newly bought games get online access included but if you but it used and don't get the code then there is an additional charge to be able to get online.

So when you are done playing the game you can't play it again from the beginning because you liked it so much. Now you will have to fork out more money to play it over.

EA and Ubisoft started it about a year ago and now most companies use that model for online play.

In my case it doesn't really effect me. If I am going to play online it means I really like the game and would buy it new anyways. If I'm not excited about a game I wait to get it on the used side and don't play the online stuff anyway.
