I'm sorry, but the way that OP was written almost broke me. It was hard to follow, and I'm not exactly sure what your overall point was, up until the slightly-related conclusion at the end.

Used games DO exist. Have for decades. It's when someone who bought and owned something brand new, sells that game or system or controller now to someone else to own. Whether it's at a pawn shop, or a yard sale, or a flea market, or just from friend to friend. So I'm not sure about the title of the thread, even.

And also, since when is there a law against modifying PCs? People do it all the time. And what about people who build their own modified models from the ground up? Not quite sure what that meant either.


I agree that game companies should not be allowed to have any say in someone selling or buying pre-owned games. I can see, in the case of some SMALLER developers/publishers, how they might lose money/sales figures on people buying used copies instead of new. But for most of the big fish, their games tend to sell well enough that used games sales are a drop in the bucket. So I agree with that notion completely. I just think the OP could/should have had a more structured and coherent point.
