Because we are talking about a paying customer but a paying customer thats not paying the maker but the retailer. So the Retailers are the blamers not the consumers. Becuase when you are a consumer and see a product, ones New and ones used, but the use one has barely any cover damage and the product is exactly the same experience offered and is at a slightly cheaper price, you are going to buy the cheaper one, its pretty much common sense. So its not the consumer to blame in this case but Gamestop/EB/Game combination and other retailers. To solve this is really easy for Publishers to do, and thats not banning it but instead create a Buffer/window where used games cannot be sold and only new games. A buffer of around 3-6 months, which is basically the period were majority of times 50-75%+ of sales are done. So to get this to happen simply band together an force the reatilers to submit or start moving more Digital Distribution and simpy stop supplying games to retailers who dont, sure your lose some sales but the amount lost in used games would be made up. ... |
what you just described there is called collusion and is illegal. furthermore, the used game stores have no reason to enter such an agreement as they make more profit on used game sales then they do on new game sales.
