I don't know if I've ever bought a used game or sold a game I own. Scratch that, I did buy Twighlight Princess off a friend. But I am emphatically against banning used games in principal. If I buy something, I want to be able to do with it what I want. Whether that's play it, hoard it in a closet somewhere or give it to my nephew. Or sell it.
Games are expensive and renting is becoming harder to do. The only people to fault for developers going out of buisness are the developers themselves, and to a lesser extent Sony and MS for pushing HD gaming ( a little) before its time. Inflating budgets have made development riskier, but there are other options, such as smartphone development, the Wii or 3DS. Game companies that are smart spend less on production and make innovative games that sell lots of copies. Those companies make millions or billions in profit. No, I don't think the games industry needs charity and I think banning used games is a terrible move. It could shut down stores like Gamestop who promote these products to mall shoppers.
