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

[Hephaestos]

of course resell of game is an aberation.
from customer to customer, it is one thing... you can't really avoid this.
But a company making profit out of game like this is akin to piracy to the publisher... and probably even more hurtfull, as the customers buy the used games at a significant price... sometimes up to 80% of the original price (that is the case in france for most games at micromania or game).
