The difference is in consent. You can gain ownership, permanent or temporary, for free if you have the consent of the original owner.

Taking someone's property without their consent, is theft, a violation of their property rights, and their natural right as a human being. It is in essence, slavery, since you're making someone slave away creating something, and then just taking it away. It's not an issue of compensation either. It's CONSENT.

did you get consent from the publishers of all the games you have on sold? I bet you didn't so your consent argument has no validity if you got consent fine but if you did ask the publishers for consent I bet you wouldn't get it.

Wut? Lol, you're defining consent as me literally going to the creators (which include hundreds of workers) and asking can I buy this? No, we have a complex economic system, with money, and retailers. If you're going to argue that Best Buy sells games without the consent of the creator, or that there isn't implicit and understood consent between me and the dev when I bought from Best Buy is to destroy our modern economy.

And what do you mean I wouldn't get it? If I ask the devs if I can buy their product, they want to make money, they offer a price, and I accept, where is the obstacle?

Fuck it, if you're going to argue that my transaction wasn't consensual, about the most fundamental and unanimously agreed upon beliefs, if you're questioning basic economics, I give up, you can't be convinced.

 

I din't say creators I said publishers I think most devs would like you to experience the game and I didn't say ask for permission to buy the game where they get money I said get permission to buy the game from a second hand retailer.

 

the only reason that publishers don't shut all the places that sell second hand games down or at least try is because it is legal, I am not arguing it is illegal I am arguing that it is immoral.
