^ Ok but being bad for the game market does not make it morally wrong. We are arguing the morality of selling used games in relation to the market. We both agree that both hurt game sales and developers profits but piracy is by far more morally repugnant. Because with used games we lose the ability to play them when we well them we cant say that about piracy.

You lose the ability to play them and instead you get money with which you can get something with. With piracy you can't do anything with it, can't go get a meal at a restaurant or anything. Used game market people are far greedier than pirates.

But theres a difference if you hadnt bought the game the money was yours to begin with for whatever you wanted to spend. A pirate cannot say that as he never spent the money and thus in a way was really the one who MADE money off someone elses work. A free $50 game is from a value stand point equivilent to getting $50 of free money.
