I am one who cant get this big fuss of wether xbox1 or ps4 charges for used games as i buy all my games new and also keep them for collection as far back as super nintendo! And the complaint about games being to expensive is nonsense if gaming is to expensive of a hobby for u then u should not be in it! 

The fact that you buy your games new is irrelevant. If Microsoft/Sony charge for used games, that effectively makes your games collection DROP in value if you've already registered said games. After all, the cost needed to recoup for 3rd parties dipping their hands into the used game market has to come from somewhere, right?

am where did i mention anything about the value of my collection and how does it drop ! and the fact i buy new games is relevant to this topic cause u and others are whining about xbox1 and their used game policy and i dont know y i am even responding to your comment cing as it makes no sense

If you're truly interestd in ACTUAL investment in games collections, you'd be just as mortified with the idea of any kind of expiry method on the game itself. For instance, instead of the value of a new game dropping from $60 to say $40 after it's original purchase, it could become something more like $10, especially since the original serial number that came in the box is no longer usable.

If you don't care about throwing money away in game value, that's totally fine; there's already a saying about fools and their money. However, do keep in mind that there are many game owners out there that ARE interested in things such as asset values for things they've purchased.
