| Porcupine_I said: Legal copies are finite. Its supply and demand. If People like the game they will keep it, which mens less used copies and eventually people will have to buy new ones. Which means good games will sell, bad games won't. Pirated copies are infinite, in the worst case there will one legal copy sold and Millions can play it, regardless of its quality. |
exactly. A new game that is very popular you won't see being sold used or if you do it won't be for very long. Even with renting them it could take a very long time before you actually get to rent it because so many others want to play as well and the rental company only got so many copies. Renting and buying used work within the system where there are only as many copies of the game to go around as the publisher makes. Piracy cuts the publishers control.
