Capcom assures consumers that Resi save system won't affect resale value

Resident Evil: The Mercenaries features a save system that prevents players from resetting their game progress. While the design may well have been to increase tension, or even just an oversight, some parties have speculated that it may be a deliberate attempt to prevent second hand sales. This has led to the bizarre situation of a publisher stressing that the resale value of its game will not be dented, Capcom telling MCV that: "The game’s value at second hand in the UK is not affected by whether or not the game can have its data reset. Customers in the UK will not experience a reduced second-hand value should they wish to trade in their purchase."
