Used games actually help to support the sale of new games. That's right, the used market actually helps! I know you may not want to believe it, but it is true.

As for piracy, those people were never going to buy the game anyway. All that it has done is make companies come up with increasingly worse DRM that is a pain for the legitimate consumer. So I guess from that stand point, piracy is worse.

Intrestingly, something like 14% of new games bought at gamestop are bought with store credit.

I had one friend who was crazy like that.  He never owned more then one videogame or one console at a time.

Once he wanted a new game he immeditly sold back the old one help to pay for it.
