I get pretty tired of the whining some devs do over used game sales. I've heard people comparing it to stealing. Give me a break. Does Ford sue used car salesmen for them selling a used car and Ford not getting any kickbacks? Do they demand profits back? No! And a big part of that reason is that the profit made from selling a used car is used to buy a new car. It's a win-win and I think the idea that if you eliminated all used video game sales that all that extra money ends up in the first parties hands is very flawed. I don't mind taking a chance and buying some games I'm not completely sure on because if they aren't that good my loss isn't as bad. That $60 game can be flipped for $30 or $40 and my real cost is less than $30. Having to pay $60 for a new game and never being able to sell or trade it means I become even more frugal buying games for both myself and my kids.
