In the waning years of the 20th century, secret codes were a common feature in games that would unlock secret content or make the challenge a bit less difficult.
But now if you want those extras, you can "unlock" them for just a few dollars! Is that this a terrible shift in developer entitlement, or another example of how gamers feel like they shouldn't have to pay more than a few dollars for a new game?
Sean and Vinnk look at the things that developers do to get more money out of gamers, and what gamers do to make developers believe that they can't get paid fairly for their work. Used games aren't evil, but some developers want you to think they are. Developers aren't evil, but there are gamers who... well, you know the rest. Is one side more entitled than the other?
