The point about being WORST than piracy for the DEVELOPERS/PUBLISHERS, its that not only they are not receiving money for the used copy, but the store is taking one potential customer that WAS willing to pay money for the game, but now buys the used copy for only 5 bucks less, because its cheaper for him. The illegal player was not likely to pay for the game anyway, but the gamer that goes into a store to buy a game IS willing to pay. Its WORST also because the same stores that sell the new games are PUSHING the used game into the customer, instead of the new game. |
if the person couldn't get it for free dowloaded they might pay for it
if the person couldn't get it for the used price they might not buy it at all
just because people are willing to pay a certain price for things doesn't mean they would pay any price for it
if too many people are buying the game used and not buynig the game new it's time for them to lower the price
