How's this for a used game solution?

The only solution you should get behind as a consumer is: Developers should make better games, so people keep them and consequently force others who want the game to buy new due to a lack of used copies.

That would require convincing the publisher that your game will sell because its fucking amazing even though there are good games that don't sell well for random reasons. Point being, amazing games don't always sell well.

By better games Rol means that sell well. The business objectives of every game company should be finding out what sells and then making it.

The reasons why games don't sell are very much NOT random. Thinking that they are is a huge source of industry incompetence.

As for this thread: doctrine of first sale is very important and the right of the consumer to circumvent any measures preventing them using an owned product fully should be absolute. This would require a DMCA repeal and new laws elsewhere. I'd love a court ruling on how long online play is guaranteed/implied by a purchase, for example EA shutting down servers after 2 years is clearly not the assumed longevity from advertising.
