Well if you stole the car, the dealer would be at a loss.

If you pirate a game, nothing is lost - only your potential sale of a used copy, which would have only benefitted Gamestop anyway.

Erm.... surely GameStop IS the dealer.

New car gets bought for $20k
1 year later owner sells it to dealer for $10k
Dealer sells it as a used car for $12k


New game gets bought for $50
4 months later owner sells it to GameStop for $15
GameStop sells it used for $20

Surely you see the connection.... now as I said, I don't know GameStop... perhaps they abuse the system.... but why not buy used from a different store if you feel their practices are not moral. If there aren't any other used game stores then that might be America's problem, GameStop has a used monopoly.

I am aware, lol.
