David Jaffe hates his customers. Does not want used game sales to continue

[theRepublic]

That video Jaffe posted is awful. Let's go through a few of the logical fallacies.

If the only reason you are playing games is that you want to be able to resell them, you should stop playing games.

No one plays games so they can resell them. They play games for fun, or story, or relaxation, or to hang out with friends, etc. They resell games so that they can buy new games to play. If people felt that a game was worth what they paid for it, they would not sell it to try and recoup their investment.

Personally, I think that if a cheaper option wasn't available to play games, we would see the consumer pool shrink.  That would be terrible for the industry.

You don't deserve to pirate games just because you think they should be cheaper

No one is talking about piracy. We are talking about the legal sale of used games.

Publishers and developers have no problem with used games sales, we just want a piece of the pie.

Yes, you do have a problem with used game sales. Don't try and sugarcoat it. Name me one other industry where the original producer makes money on used sales.

Just one.

Used game sales are not the same as used car sales. Used cars won't last as long don't run as well, etc. A used game is the same no matter how many times it is sold.

True. But the same can be said for used book sales, used movie sales, and used CD sales. Yet those industries are all doing just fine. What about libraries? You can read pretty much any book you want for free!

By the way, Jaffe just took down the video I'm talking about in this post. It seems he doesn't want people to know how anti-consumer he is.
