So is the Xbox One effectively the end of piracy?

I agree with Microsoft's motives regarding piracy, and I also get used game sales.

If you think about it a retailer who sells second hand games makes full profit from that resale. The developer and the publisher dosen't get any of that money back from the game they've made.

On those levels I think Microsoft are doing something good for publishers and developers, at the same time, this console will eventually get hacked. It won't stay piracy free forever.

the developers and publishers don't have any right to get that money.

I don't agree with that. Developers and publishers have put a lot of hard work and resources into making a game. I don't think a retailer whos put nothing into that game should get full profit off someone else's hard work.

Especially for the prices that they charge for used games.
