Spec Ops: The Line
GarandMarine:
Well at the very least, the rental place buys the game a few times.
snalin:
True, but that doesn't mean that you renting it does anything else than keeping a business that's going to die within ten years alive anyways. If you want to convince publishers that games like Spec Ops are worth giving out, buy it. If you don't care, or don't have the money... no ethical difference to be found.
GarandMarine:
Just like Netflix is killing the movie industry and primary DVD purchases?
de_la_Nae:
Family Video *might* go the way of Blockbuster, but so far it's held its niche here in Indiana at least: low income rentals.
I don't know how their business model actually looks from where they're sitting, but there's a lot of people in this town who go to them instead of Netflix. A lot of folks here still don't have good home internet connections, or bank accounts with credit cards (if you're aware of Redbox's way of doing business). Or homes for that matter for some; this was the place we'd go to get stuff for little 'movie nights' at the homeless shelter I used to stay at.

They will have a market as long as there are rural areas without high-speed internet.
