This whole hating the used game market is BS. EVERY market has a secondhand market. ALL of them. So, why don't you hear, say the car industry, complaining about used cars sales? It's because they aren't dumb, like some game developers, or gullible, like some gamers who have been tricked into hating Gamestop. They know that the people who sell their new cars usually put that cash towards another new car, which makes them more money. Sure, there are many people that only buy used cars, and the car manufacturers don't see any money from those sales. But, they don't care because with how many used cars are available, there are just as many willing to buy new.
This is no different from the gaming industry. The developers lose ZERO money from the used game sales. In fact, it only benefits them. Just as with cars, many use that cash from selling games to put towards buying more new games. Also, people who buy used games will probably be more inclined to purchase the DLC for that game, something the original purchaser would have never done, which makes the developer more money in the end.
Online passes and/or tying a game to one's account is BS, too. The person who originally bought that game for $60 paid for the right for that game to be played online, no matter who's hands it ends up in. It's only one copy of the game, therefore only one person can play the game online. This is another example where the developers are not losing a single dime on online, but are either dumb in thinking they do, or have tricked gamers into thinking they do.
The car industry knows that sales would slump if used cars were killed off, which is why they don't care. I suggest the game industry wise up to this, too. The only thing they need to worry about is making quality games and keeping their time/resource management in check, and they will be fine.
