Bethesda Threatens Second-Hand Sellers with Lawsuit

Loosers. Worst kind, also.

Wasn't planning to get their games anyway.

I certainly hope this reaches court and bites them in the ass.

I don't mean to defend Bethesda, just contribute to the discussion: in this article, they point out that the problem they see is that the game was being sold as new.

Anyway, regardless of the official stance i don't think that they are gonna gain something by attacking and potentially ruining some random guy's life with a lawsuit. If anything, this will result in bad PR regardless of who's gonna win the lawsuit or if it gets thrown out in court.
We're not talking about a professional seller or a store altogether, we're talking about 12 fucking dollars.

its unfortunate that stores like GAME, have practically disappeared in portugal.
Because i could tell a few that did sell the ocasional "new" game themselves

Publishers have wanted for years to stop the resale of their games, which they've pushed by various means such as single use codes. Now that digital downloads are the norm, they've got what they wanted. Bethesda is no exception, and despite putting out some great (albeit buggy) games, they've shown themselves to favor profit over their customers time and time again. From horse armor, suing indie devs, paid mods, and now this... unless some of the gaming community's outrage turns into lost sales, I can't see their behavior getting any better.

Problem is, its amazon, and amazon already has a return policy for things that do not work or are not as described as what you paid for when you bought it. Bethesda should blow off. Not only that, Xbox used to and im sure still does have some holographic crap thing built into their plastic wrapper jazz..probably the same for ps4 and whatever..

I'm not buying Fallout 76, not because of this but because It's an mmo and only sold by them. It's THEIR FAULT that I got sucked into steam, because skyrim made me do it...and now they wanna pull this. To hell with them. I only ever bought Fallout New Vegas (and was lucky to win a copy of Fallout 4 through a group of my friends) because people I know told me I so have to check it out cause I was mister elder scrolls from back in the day with morrowind and so on..

Single handedly, because of skyrim, I now own nearly 1500 games on steam...purchases of my own, bundles, steamgifts, whatever. It"s your fault, bethesda..and you're just bogus.

Honestly, I've been saying the same thing for like 10, 15? years....

SPEAK WITH YOUR WALLET. They only understand $.

I will NOT be buying FAllout 76 or Doom Eternal.
