Although, the developers makes no money here obviously.I still find it wrong that companies want to restrict this, as although it don't go to them. The 2nd hand market makes money and create jobs for the industry, be it the retail part. And once you bought it, the game is your property of which you can do as you want except copy and re-distribute of course. And yes i'm pro-used games and anti-privacy |
The economics argument is a poor one. You've essentially given me an adapted version of the broken window fallacy. Your assuming that money not spent on games is money not spent at all. If I don't buy a game because I've downloaded it, that money doesn't disappear, I'll just spend it on something else. Say, coffee at Starbucks.
Don't tell me you hate Starbucks, and want them all out of the job.
