Owners versus Renters
Cordova, TN; August 7, in the year of our Lord 2014--Family
Friendly Gaming, the industry leader in covering the family
friendly video games is asking Family Friendly Gaming Nation an
important question. Are you an owner? Or are you a renter? Do
you know the difference? Which is better to be for the long
term? Have you ever given this issue much thought? Should you
start to care about your ownership status? We care about it here
at Family Friendly Gaming. Which is why we are doing a news
article on this exact topic. I personally find this issue to be
extremely important.
Owners purchase physical copies of video games. Owners can sell
and trade their video games. Owners can give away their video
games to family, friends, or anyone else they so choose. Owners
can enhance their video games with devices like the Action
Replay. Owners can experience the art work on the manuals,
cases, discs, and cartridges. Owners can play their games on
multiple different machines. Renters can save space by
downloading their games to one machine. Renters can pay the same
price for games. Renters can pay multiple times for the same
game (aka free apps or repeat pay to play apps). Renters have to
turn a machine on to see what games they own.
So which are you? Are you a renter? Or are you an owner? It
should be apparent that I am way more supportive of owners. I am
not trying to bad mouth renters. I believe owning games is
better for the industry. I believe owning games is better for
families. You always have more choices and options when you own
a video game. Ultimately I am looking out for families, and for
my fellow gamers. If you are a renter I want to encourage you to
become an owner. If space for games is a problem, then trade
them in (or sell them).
God bless,
