Only under pirating does the developer not see any money.
Under every other scenario presented, the developer receives compensation for their work. And under many of them, there are benefits to the developer.
-- Lending may lead to a sale (much like a demo).
-- Rental copies may be sold to the rental agency for a higher price (this sometimes is the case for movies in some places)
-- Second-hand game sales start when gamers sell back their games -- receiving funds which are often used to buy NEW games.

 I am Mario.I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble. Wii Friend Code: 1624 6601 1126 1492 NNID: Mike_INTV |
