Are used games killing the market?

Killing the industry? Since when is the industry dying.

I think used games hurt potential sales but not by that much. If anything high prices of video games is the one that hurts it. Buying used consoles and games just looks sweeter from that perspective.

Used games are good at keeping developers from getting too cocky. It forces them to put more content that may only come new or keep prices at a competitive price. I welcome used games.

 

That's what I was wondering.

Used games have been around for decades, yet the industry keeps on expanding at a strong and steady pace. You'd think if used games were killing the industry then revenues wouldn't keep going up year after year.

I wish publishers would stop looking for scapegoats for their lousy business models and over-investment.
