I'd agree that developers and shops need to work something out. It should not be passed on to the consumer who in many cases have already paid for their game legally.
But doing something like the opening post suggests would mean such things as lending a game to a friend is out as they can't play it unless they pay.
I've never understood many developers annoyance with people buying a used game and playing online with it, the main reason is that while yes the developer didn't see any more money from that sale but the did the original sale of the game. The original owner no longer has that game so isn't playing , the new guy is, so surely the same amount of people are playing? Therefore no extra cost on servers, there are not 2 players now playing as one doesn't own the game anymore.
Hmm, pie.
