Blaming the used games market is pathetic.

Seriously, that's like PC developers blaming rampant piracy. Blaming things that straight up steal 50%+ of your sales is pathetic. Just like those peopel who blame cancer for stealing the rest of their lives... whiners....

If people sell the game then they didn't like it. Is that their fault for not liking the "incredible art" that the developer made? Blaming the used games market is utterly pathetic because good games and appealing games are kept and not sold. Blaming the used game market is just lazy and shows that the developer doesn't believe in their product.

Or they played it and finished it? There's probably not even one game a year that I feel like I need to keep forever. All the rest, I play them and i'm done. That's how most games are, for most people.

That said, there's plenty of reason to hate the secondhand market - the dev gets 0% share of half its sales. Whereas people who like to try the game without buying it can rent, and this generates revenue for everyone involved. So does waiting for the game to drop in price.
