I just realized that most of you are the same ones not every buying new and are a part of the problem. Most likely the people that want everything free and thinking second hand games don't hurt the market is just putting your head in the sand.

One game being sold second hand can take the place of 10 games new. That simple. other markets have way higher mark ups. Cars have parts and so do most other markets. So either you people that are cheap have to pay more or me the person who buys new has to have higher cost on new games. I say, none of you really buy that many new games, so it should be you to have to pay.

You have been warned, one or the other is going to happen. new games go way up in price or second hand market takes a hit. Personally all you complaining seem very, very, very, very ,very cheap. WOW!!!
So the cheap skats need to pay more.

I buy every game new and never resell.  You are the one putting your head in the sand.  All the academic research on the topic says that used markets help support new markets.  They do not hurt.
