I see both arguments as valid. I dont necessarily think gamestop should write the developer a check when they sell a used game but i think a used game from gamestop should be cheaper. I think this is what Jaffe is trying to say. If what he was saying is true and he is all for the consumer being able to sell their games. But gamestop makes it so much easier to sell used games and rip off the consumer and the developer at the same time. Heck you can trade a game in the day after release and get 20 bucks for it. Then gamestop sells it for 55. Then someone who doesnt have alot of money for a new game will pay the 55 over 60. every dollar or penny these days makes a difference to some people. So game stop im sure makes more profit off of a game then the dev does. i could be wrong im not sure about how the percentage of profits is broken down but if they buy a game from you for 20 then sell it for 55 they make like 160% or so profit from a game does a developer get 35 dollars a game profit? I dont know ? I agree with the unlock codes for certain things Maybe they should just make it so that if a used game is sold an unlock code for the extra features can be bought from the dev for like 5 bucks or something.
