Are you really so foolish to believe that removing the used game market would magically drop the prices on unused retail products? That's what it sounds like you're saying. If anything, the prices will just go up.
Development costs. 100 people working for 2 yeras isn't cheap.
You've gone on to list other things that aren't relevant in the least. He was saying that development is what costs a fortune, and it doesn't (even if you double their pay, and I know they don't get paid that much). Ignoring the small cost of development, if you look at how much money is made from a single game, all of the other costs still don't add up to a loss. Companies like EA wouldn't exist if they were losing money on every game. Small companies that sell only in the thousands of tens of thousands of units wouldn't be making games if they were only making losses on every game.
Let's just say those 100 developers are making $20/hour (I don't know how much they really get paid), and they all work for 40 hours every week for two years.
40*52*20*100*2=$8320000
How much money does this game, that has 100 developers and takes two years to code, make? When this game sells a few million copies at $80, what kind of profit will it have made?
Looks like developing a game is pretty inexpensive, after all.
completely different marketplace with completely different goods and a completely different price and selling structure
How do any of those things you listed differ between buying and selling games, cars or houses, other than goods themselves? Can you not buy or sell a house for $1? Do you not exchange money or other property to acquire either of those? Can I not purchase a car for $200? What happens when I purchase two or three brand new games, do they magically cost less than $140-$210 just because they are games?
Try thinking, next time, before posting retarded shit.
None of these retards have heard of vegetables or grains? Quinoa is a complete protein food source, so it's not like anyone can whine about not "gettin' yer protains". Also, two little cups of cooked quinoa contain the entirety of an adult's daily iron needs. Vegetables cover everything else you need, by far.
I can't decipher your sentence but I think you're asking about proof that they only block your G+ account, and it's true, otherwise I wouldn't be able to use one of my Gmail accounts right now.
Okay, when your child is unable to be vaccinated due to medical conditions, or their vaccine just doesn't take, you're fine with the people who chose to not have vaccinations infecting your child, right? Same goes for yourself. You are okay with being infected by people who chose to have no vaccinations, right? Not due to medical reasons, but because they are mentally challenged, like you.
he notes that trying to develop and use some form of open source toilet paper will be an "interesting and possibly painful process.
Really, he doesn't know how to dig a hole? The only good toilet is a hole in the ground. Anything else isn't normal for the human body to use. Do you like shitting yourself while sitting on your chair? If you're not squatting to shit, that's what you're training your body to do.

Murder? Does a woman having a miscarriage equate to murder? If you think aborting a fetus is murder, you should abort yourself right now.
No, I'm pretty sure you're just a moron, because his point was extremely clear.
If you ask me, both companies should be liable for violating privacy laws."
Nobody is asking you because nobody cares about what you think.

Didn't you just trade it in so you could get a bigger discount off a new game?

You fucked up and made a fool of yourself. Stop trying so hard to recover from your failure - it's just having the opposite effect. Get over it.
Don't be retarded enough to accept stock over cash?

You're worse than dingleberries for allowing that headline.
HOLY CRAP A COUNTRY OF 1400 PEOPLE SWITCHED COMPLETELY TO SOLAR POWER!!!!!!!!!!!!111one!11!!!!
Is this supposed to be news? This is like putting up an article because the high-rise apartment building down the street went 100% solar.
I have a better idea, don't browse websites that you don't need to be browsing while you're at work. Instead, try doing some work.
So, what does your moronic comment have to do with an installer, that the user has run, adding a plugin to your browser?
You should have paid more attention in English class.

Wikipedia obviously isn't ugly at all.

When your vaccine doesn't take, you're fine with them infecting you too, right?
