Anti-used gaming policy is good for gamers.

*Serious face*

If the hope (or survival) of the gaming industry depends on stripping its customers of rights and services, then my friend, it deserves to die!

*Even more serious face*

(IMO)

They have never been rights. They have been privileges. Digital game purchases are not resellable and nobody complains. You know why? Its because reselling a game you've bought and played is not actually a right. And IMO, I'd rather accept the used game policy than let the gaming industry die. That's just selfish.

If it has truly come down to that dichotomy (which is a point you should back up before just throwing it around like this), then it's the industry's fault for letting it get that bad.

It is their prerogative to *try* and force all of this anti-consumer crap down our throats, just as it's our prerogative to migrate to a more consumer-friendly hobby, whatever that may be.

I have no disagreements with what you just said. I just hope that your opinion does not become widespread. However, I don't think that people are fighting for their right to sale their games, they just want to be able to buy used games.
