Because they tend to make less profit, meaning losses from used sales are felt by them harder.

To be hurt by used game sales you have to sell games in the 1st place. They are "used" for a reason, people buy them, then sell them. 

If people don't buy small dev games in the 1st place how can used games hurt them? Smaller devs are being hurt less by used games and more the staggering amount of $$ that goes into making a game.

100k used sales from a game that sells 500k is a lot worse than 150k used sales from a game that sells1 million.  See how it works?

Pretty sure the game that sold 1 million would have a larger percentage of used game sales than the smaller game. 

You still haven't explained why a smaller dev is harmed more in a used game sale than a larger dev is. They should just make games that can profit at 500k and let the big boys do millions.
