Used game sales aren't bad for the industry, but retailers selling used games definitely are. They actively push used games over new ones because they get a bigger profit of them. Also you get less money for your used game and pay more if you buy it there.

TotalBiscuit goes into here why the retailers are ruining things by actively pushing used version of games over new:

In this case, you have the likes of Gamestop ruining things for everyone.  He has points here.  I FULLY disagree with him that getting rid of used games will somehow cause the price of new games to drop.  

I will also add that NO ONE outside of the publisher owns a game.  People own a LICENSE to use a game.  But the game is not owned.  People also own a disk or something else the game comes on.  

Gamestop's business model certainly is a problem.  However, punishing the average Joe consumer to deal with Gamestop is an exceedingly poor decision.
