Easy way to counter this for retailers like Gamestop.
Just hike up the retailing price for XBone games!
Lets say the activation fee for a used XBone games will be $20-$40, and that Gamestop will sell a used game for $20. If a new game is originally to be sold for $60, then Gamestop and other retailers should just set the retailing price of their XBone games to $80 or even $100, and inform the customer of MS policies towards used games. Simply just raise the price of ALL XBone games by the amount of the activation fee.
My bet is that MS will forfeit pretty quickly, and IMO retailers should do this.
