Vlad: So you are saying that it is immoral to buy used cars, used books, used clothes and even old houses? None of them benefit original makers either but I doubt you would consider buying them immoral. I don't see any difference between buying used car and buying used game. There is no difference morally and legally because both are original physical items.

If I don't like the game or I don't want it anymore, I should have right to sell just like any physical item I have.

Did you even read the first setence of the last post I made. I'm saying buying used cars will be the same if you could copy the car. Also games are not physical items, they are digital, that's a HUGE difference.

Actually some games are physical items. They are discs. Being able to sell physical things you don't want anymore is an important part of the economy. PC developers have added measures to keep you from being able to do just that. Console developers haven't. Thus, your morality issue(while completely wrong) is moot. It is still a major weakness of PC gaming when it comes to the price of said games, and in my eyes, pirates will always be thieves trying to get something for nothing, while people who trade in used games are HELPING the industry by driving it forward with capital and investment.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I'm really not.

Either way, piracy is illegal, the buying and selling of used goods is encouraged in a capitalistic country, and even the developers aren't against it, because they could put a stop to it instantly. Whatever you, and the small group of PC fans choose to justify piracy as, can't change that.
