I don't mind if they use this to combat piracy, because much like this gen the file sizes required is just not worth it.

Don't screw over used games though, there have been so many times when there was no other option but to buy a used copy especially for games that came out early on in the gen and are not in production anymore.

but don't you know publishers and developers doesn't earn a single cent from that? its only the retail shop who earn extra for selling pre-owned games, so whats the different between this and piracy...??

 

It was bought once (they received their moneyz), after that they no longer have any distribution right for that particular copy nor do they have the right to hinder you from distributing your copy (at least in the EU)

yes i know that, but even when there are still available stocks on the shelves, many people will buy the pre-owned since its cheaper, that is why we see quite many games have no strong legs after released just one or two weeks later...
