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?

You evidently didn't read my post, so: they are not concerned with the gamer who buys used games. They are concerned with the gamer who feels that the value of his purchase is lessened because he can't sell his games on and recoup some of his investment.

As for what the gamer will do when things are digital, I imagine he'll either move to PC, where games are considerably cheaper, or to PlayStation, where he can pay £4 per month and get PS+.
