Second hand trade hurts developers as much as software piracy...

it depends if the game you buy has been looked after or not, for example if it has smudges and scratches it will not work as well as a new version.

That's physical damage though, in which case you could just take it back and swap it if it didn't work properly. Scratches on the disc do not affect the graphics, sound and gameplay of the game. Scratches on a car could mean it requires a new pain job to avoid rust.

Maybe game companies should offer the same assurance... or rather better.

I always find it funny that your not actually buying a game... but a liscense to use software... yet if something happens to your disc for some reason you have to buy a whole new liscense.

Ridiculious.
