Why I hope PS4/NeXbox Blocks Used games

Well then, couple years down the line, I'm looking for some games.

I notice that they have this 1 game for cheap that I didn't have the time/money for at the time.

There are no new copies, because they stopped shipping them.

I'll take the used one then. (Exactly what I did with TWEWY and Metroid Prime)

That is understandable, but games that arent even a week old getting sold used is completely ridiculous for developers and publishers

Unfortunately that's just the risk they have to take. They can mitigate it to be sure. But blocking used games can have a huge negative effect. I still buy PS1/PS2 games. Games that I cannot possibly get new these days. What happens 10-20 years from now when the PS4 is but a fleeting memory? Are those games forever lost to the retro gamer?
