Nope. This is the worst idea ever.
That's like giving up ownership rights. Once a publisher contracts a distributor and sells it's stock to a retailer it has no right to it. Once the retailer sells it to us they have no right to it. If we sell it back to the retailer I don't have any right to and the original publisher still has no right to it.
Should Ebay and Amazon forcibly take cut from my online used game sales to send back to the publisher. NO. HELL NO.
Publishers, like all companies that sell products, need to stop being whiny bitches and accept that product sold is property owned. The used market exists in ALL industries. Why is it that the video game industry is the only one that gets sympathy for it? Oh, yeah, because they can wield power of their customers and convince them that they deserve it.
If I sell my car, ford doesn't get a dime.
If I sell my DVD of Tron, Disney doesn't get a nickel.
If I sell my cartridge of Sonic 2, Sega shouldn't get a penny.
I won my property and I have the right to do what I want with it. I can keep it forever, sell it, trade it, gift it away, smash it, or burn it in a toaster. That's my right as a property owner. Sending money back to a game publisher forfeits rights that we should never let slip.
Don't let video game publishers trick you. They don't need used sales and you don't owe them anything. If they want to sell more games new all they have to do is drop their price, add value, and make the games that people don't want to sell or trade.
Every year people buy tickets to movies on day one. They wait in line for midnight shows. They buy the DVDs and Blu-Rays because they love movies. The same is true for video games. So why do video game publishers need used game money while movie studios don't? Well they really don't and you shouldn't let them fool you into thinking they do.
