So everyone here suggesting that the developers make their games more 'replayable' to avoid second-hand markets is happy to see the death of great single-player games?

As always there's a million and one analogies thrown into the mix whenever this topic comes up - art appreciates in value, cars performance degrades, used CDs/DVDs aren't as available in retailers, books don't cost $50 million to write and market, there's a counter argument to everything and it is a REAL problem with some developers going under.

We're now seeing comments justifying piracy because of the used-game market. Something has to change. And I don't view it as 'punishment' for the developer to get paid.

Great singleplayer games can be replayable.  I've replayed tons of single player games... not to mention adding better post games. Like say.  Disgaea.
