I guess that nobody rents games anymore, is that true?

The developers only get a cut on the initial sale, but nothing from then on.

When demand drops, the store must then sell their now extra copies, to make room for the newer games. Is that ok? Opinions?

In Japan, there are no rental stores, but every game has a demo disc that is available to most gamers. They also have a huge second hand market over there, and I don't hear the developers crying the blues over that.

Here, most console specific magazines contain a demo disc with a few games on them, but not all of the game releases are included. I guess that gamers today must have an endless supply of money to be able to buy only new copies of games they want to play.
