Sure, the used-game industry hurts game makers' profits, just like the garage-sale and secondhand sector hurt the profits of furniture makers. The first-sale doctrine -which states that IP rightsholders only have any right to money gained from a copy of a work the first time it is sold- was created for precisely this purpose: to make IP mimic actual property. This is not a problem in the slightest.
Complexity is not depth. Machismo is not maturity. Obsession is not dedication. Tedium is not challenge. Support gaming: support the Wii.

What do I hate about modern gaming? I hate tedium replacing challenge, complexity replacing depth, and domination replacing entertainment. I hate the outsourcing of mechanics to physics textbooks, art direction to photocopiers, and story to cheap Hollywood screenwriters. I hate the confusion of obsession with dedication, style with substance, new with gimmicky, old with obsolete, new with evolutionary, and old with time-tested.
There is much to hate about modern gaming. That is why I support the Wii.
