Second: The tight budget argument part is bogus.  People on a tight budget can't do lots of things... such is life.

Third: Why is that a consumers problem?

 

 

Well then, you are restricting your potential userbase to people with plenty of money. It's not going to affect you, but it will affect many people.

If you say so. 

Not sure the loss of a gamer who only buys used games is such a big loss to the industry to be honest... its actually no loss at all.

What will that gamer do when we are totally digital?

He will buy used. Not sure about NA but EU has already discussed this issue. And What about people who sell used games to buy new games ?

"Europe's highest court ruled on Tuesday that the trading of "used" software licenses is legal and that the author of such software cannot oppose any resale.

The exclusive right of distribution of a copy of a computer program covered by such a licence is exhausted on its first sale, said the European Court of Justice (ECJ). This applies to downloaded software as well as that bought on CD or DVD. This ruling sets a precedent for trading of used software licenses throughout the European Union and could potentially impact ebooks and computer games as well."

When willit be applied however is a different story.
