That's not our fault. These retailers are the ones banking on the used game market. They are the ones providing this extra pool of cash that devs arsn't seeing. They need to go after retailers for that, not the fucking consumers. |
Developers don't deserve anymore money, if a used copy exists then it means it has already been sold at full price (or whatever the reduced new price was) , the developer has their money for that copy of the game.
If GAMER A buys a new copy of a game and use it's offline and online features then he deserves to as they were included in the original purchase. He gets bored and sells that game back to the store. That customer no longer has that game so can't use it's features. GAMER B arrives and buys that used copy as opposed to the expensive new copy, they aren't only buying the game, they are also buying the right to play all features of the game GAMER A originally bought (online features and all).
All developers are complaining about is the fact that they aren't seeing any money from this used game sale, their complaint is to the retailer like you say. Yet they did receive money from the original sale. Surely having active users who could potentially by DLC is better than having and inactive one who leaves his copy gaining dust on a shelf?
Hmm, pie.
