Quoting Malstrom:
"Used games are a type of ‘customer protection’ that aids the customer in getting some credit back should the customer finds himself stuck with a game he doesn’t want to keep.
It is sheer arrogance to believe that this industry has any right to money made from used goods. You got your money when the product is sold. Imagine trying to sell a used TV and hear the TV company moan and cry that someone is buying a used TV instead of a new one. It doesn’t happen and if it did happen, everyone would look at the TV company in astonishment. If I sell the chair I am sitting in now, the chair company doesn’t believe it is ENTITLED to that money. It got its money when I originally bought the chair."
He's referring to the sale of used games, but it certainly applies for renting games as well.
"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."
