Literally every single industry has a second hand market...

and this is the only one that complains about them 

lots of industries do but the goverment usually steps in...i think we will see the same happen eventually

what do you mean eventually? Like No more used clothes? used cars? used any products? 

like they set guidelines similar to the whole book distribution problem with amazon setting cheaper prices on their digital books and shit. sues will be had lol

I agree with the OP 100%. The used games market must be crushed so that developers get more revenue and better budgets to create even better games for us all.

Watching all of this unfold reminds me of the music industry in the late 1990'-2000. For those of you that weren't born or weren't of age to know what was going on, the music industry almost completely folded up shop, because of those crazy kids and their used cd market. I still remember Garth brooks on late nite television talking about how the used cd market was destroying the industry, and the sad part is, he was right. At first it was just the used cd's and the digital age came and suddenly you didn't even have to by the music you could just share it with your closest million friends.

The problem isn't the gaming industry the problem is the consumer who wants to consume and not pay for it, and frankly gamers are even worse than the music stealers. Drm saved the music industry, without it, naps tee would have completely bankrupted the industry and Sony music and all the others would be gone, but apparently history is set to repeat itself again. Gamers swear up and down that it is their right to give away a game, copy it, pirate it, whatever they want to do with it, and preferably at no price at all!

But now the music industry is finally starting to comeback, digital music is now a common thing to actually buy and publishers get a cut of the sale and the used cd market is all but dead.

Gamers can either aling themselves with the music stealers or recognize that games like music are not a physical medium, they are a service and should be treated as such.

So instead of me renting from GameFly or Redbox or borrowing games from friends to see if it warrants a purchase, I just won't buy it at all or at the most, cut back on purchases. Fine by me.
