Ok, since we seem not to be caring about the money developers can make. You can pirate games on the PC for free. How can you beat that? When you rent and buy used games you still pay something, how do you beat free?

I hesitate to mention pirating as a positive for PC gaming, yet it probably is the reason a lot of people prefer it.

You mentioned used market. What's the difference between the two?

ARE YOU SERIOUSLY SUGGESTING THAT THE USED GAME MARKET IS EQUIVALENT TO PIRACY?

[edit:  oops, forgot to refresh -- everyone has already jumped on this.]

The end result is the same. THe developers get no money from you.

Edit: crap yoru edit came in too fast.

Oh, don't worry -- if you haven't slunk back into whatever corner spawned that terrible concept, I'll happily take you on. 

In the case of used/rental games, the developers got money from SOMEONE for every copy of the game that's out there.  In the case of piracy, they didn't. 

So say 10k people rent/circulate a game which someone paid for with 50 bucks. Definitely someone is getting the money and it's so much. How much does each person pay the developer? Thousandths of a cent?

WRONG!!!  $50/10000 is half a cent.  If $10 goes to the dev, that's one-tenth of a cent.  I can guarantee you're not getting anywhere near thousandths. 

Anyway, ten thousand people?  What's your timeframe, centuries?  You're being silly. 

You're also trying to obscure the fact that THE DEVELOPER GOT PAID.
