That depends what you consider games to be.. a work of art or a manufactured consumer good.

In art/movie context, producers get redistribution fees (royalty). 

There's no difference, in this context, between art and a manufactured good. A painter, sculptist, movie producer, etc. only gets paid when they sell the work to the first customer. They get no cut whatsoever when that customer in turn sells the work to another party. It's how things have worked since pretty much forever.
