Can you explain to me how Used game sales is any different than pirating?

one gives the money to the previous owner / the guy at the store.

the second is not give money at all.

both lead to the publisher / developer not getting anything in return , and to whoever replied to me, i clearly said "support your favourite developer" , its not a charity , its not serving , its not blindly giving money away, its SUPPORTING your FAVORITE developer, so that they make more games you enjoy.

I've already answered this in my other posts in this thread.  What do you think the previous owner with do with the money he receives?  It's pretty likely that money will be put towards another video game purchase.  Pirating doesn't give the previous owner any money.

Publishers/developers are in for a rude awakening if they think eliminating or reducing used game sales will result in any additional revenue for them.  They will just be selling fewer games.


where do you think pirates get the source file of the game from ?

yessir from a game copy, thats still the same as a used copy.
