The publishers should have cut out the middleman and controlled redistribution. An online game exchange run by EA, Square Enix, Sony, etc, would have many opportunities and allow them to at least eat resale profits instead of functionally donating it all to GameStop. I'd imagine people would trust the publishers more as well.

Yes, they should have...

I mean how hard can it be for publishers to offer discounts for new upcoming games if a used game is traded in. They could make it exclusively for the games they published or even go a step further and offer an alliance between all publishers where any game can be traded in.

They wouldn't even have to keep a database of proves or game trade in values...

A model dased on game release date would work great:

15 dollar credit for games less than a year old.

10 dollars for games 1-2 years old

5 dollars for all games older than 2 years.

They can refurbish these games and re-sell them as greatest hits or just dispose of them, eliminating them from curculation hence making buyers buy new copies.

Yes. Yes. They could have. But that's just wishful thinking.

They don't want to buy their shitty games back :)
