Would you sell your digital games for 10% of their price? Microsoft thinks so

Digital downloads are increasingly playing a leading role among users and are promoted by a large number of companies, which in this way save distribution costs, thus obtaining more benefits , but some like Microsoft think that they can still extract more margin and are already thinking about buying your digital games.

It would be a way to encourage users to buy digitally but using a rather striking method, to put it mildly, since Redmond would be willing to purchase the purchased games for 10% of the purchase price of the same.

All the information comes to light as a result of a survey carried out among the users of the gaming platform Xbox and in which it was revealed if they would be willing to get rid of their digital games for the aforementioned amount of 10% of their original cost.

Let's think of a digital game for Xbox One that would cost you 69 euros and that Microsoft would buy you for 6.90 euros Would you find that offer attractive?We would thus be facing a kind of second-hand market but somewhat sui generis, since it would take place between Microsoft and the users.

And let's imagine that after purchasing a game you complete it in a month, a game that has recently been released. Would it be profitable to get rid of it for those almost 7 euros? Clearly not, it would be a waste of money Another thing is that it was a game with time on the market that perhaps could already be amortized.

The fact is that if the repurchase price policy (frankly ridiculous) of some specialized stores in the case of physical games is already debatable, this proposal of Microsoft has nothing to detract from.

First of all we must be to the fine print, that is, if the price of the game is the purchase price at the time in which we acquired it or the one it currently has or if that policy is valid for old games, and then ask if this proposal could succeed if perhaps Redmond dared to increase that percentageof purchase price.

It is often said that when the river sounds... and in the face of this movement by Microsoft there is nothing left but to remain expectant of the movements of the American companyto find out if it finally adopts this policy to favor the purchase of games in digital format._Would you find it interesting?_
