They're all equally moraly objectional, except for renting. We are talking about the individual moral responsibility right? Not the moral responsibility of the whole world? My moral responsibility is to purchase the game so the publisher gets money from me. Whether I borrow the game from a friend, pirate the game off the internet, or buy a used game, that publisher isn't seeing a dime. It isn't however immoral to lend a game, sell a used game or put your copy of a game online for others to download so long as your copy of the game was purchased new.That is your game. Do what you want with it.
The larger effects of used games vs. pirating don't mean jack shit to just me. Maybe a single copy can translate to many pirated copies and a used game can only translate to one at a time, but that only matters to the larger problem. It isn't a part of my personal moral responsibility. My moral responsibility is to not purchase that available used game, not borrow that available game from a friend, or not pirate that available game off the internet. In any of the three cases, I only need one copy, so it doesn't matter which way I don't pay a publisher.
The only moraly right thing to do as a single person is to purchase the game brand new.

I disagree, that is an immoral argument from a gamers perspective.
Not everybody has the ability to buy all the new games they want. To leave this as the only moral option is immoral because it is immoral to keep people from gaming when there are options that help the devs just as much, if not more, that people just buying new games.

So if you don't have all the money to play the games why are you playing them? If you don't have the money just don't play the games.

If I buy something (including a video game), then I own it. I have every right (legally and morally) to do what I want with it. If I can convince someone else to give me money for it, then that is my RIGHT. It's called free enterprise. Anyone who disagrees with this (like you) is immoral.

And I have the right to share what I buy with anyone I want. Anyone who says otherwise ( like you) is immoral.
P.S. Sharing = Piracy
NO, Piracy = Piracy, you can lend your right to play the game to somebody, but at some point in time, that right to play is returned to you. This is not the case with pirating. With lending/used game market One game disc = one right to play. With pirating one game disc = many rights to play
@ironman
Same thing with pirates, fewer people would be gaming if not for piracy, which is BAD for the entirer industry, so I guess piracy is good too.
Yes, but even fewer new games are sold because of pirating. It is quite the opposite with the used game market.
Give up, you can't win this. Any excuse you give for used sales I can use with piracy.
lol, what? I have shot down every one of your sorry excuses for an argument about used games. You just keep digging yourself holes when you open your mouth...and I push you in and pile on the dirt. Seriously, I already have won this. You are just in a state of denial.
So, I'm getting tired of asking this, What Dev do you work for. I will not stop asking till I get an honest answer.
