Just that Gamestop promotes games on day 1, sells new games, yadda, yadda, and that rental places have to pay a premium (Gamefly/Blockbuster). |
Exactly. When you talk about used and rented games, develeopers get money from them in some way. Hell, rented and used games can even push DLC, and so developers can make even more, not just get the premium they get payed for a rental games. eeven the value of the used game gets back in circulation.
Piracy is different. Most of the time they dont even buy the game they rip, its usually leaked from somebody from the inside 
So the difference is actually huge when you think about it
