You completely forgot to mention the reason why used copies and renting exist in the first place: they work as safety net for the consumer. If those two didn't exist, the gaming industry as a whole would be much smaller.

Beyond that, used games and renting only really pose a problem to those developers who can't make games that people want to keep (either for collector's sake or to play them again). So why should anyone feel bad about those developers not getting as much money as the more talented ones?

Well, I was only talking about this:

Remember, this is "Buying used/Renting games = Piracy" in the sense that the Developer and Publisher won't get money in any of those situations.

I never said anything about what people should feel like by Buying used/Renting games/Pirating :P and I never said people should feel good or bad about that. That depends on the culture and each person's opinions.

Here in my country, if you buy new/used/rent games you're treated as STUPID... and the "intelligent people" download their games from the internet for free (pirate their games).
