How have they lost a potential customer when the original customer has played the game and probably though "This is a bit crap, I'll trade it in and get a game that's good"? As a new customer bought the used game, there are the same amount of people playing, original owner doesn't have this copy anymore, according to the developer, the same amount of people are playing. I originally bought Uncharted used, I couldn't find it for less than £30 new, bought it for £15 used to 'give it a try', it was great and I bought Uncharted 2 and 3 new, this sound like a lost customer? Stop trying to hide behind the idea that high street stores make lots of money from us and don't give anything to the developers. GAME in the uk went bust last year because of all the money they make from used games. The developers have their money from the original sale. |
I said potential... Not 100%.

That is a ridiculous statement. Why else would they encourage both trade and re-sale? To get more MONEY! I'm not even going to reply to you after this. I can't see a point. At least I posted a source with evidence to help my opinion, you just brush it off as nothing. Yet I'm trying to hide? Lol, ok.
GAME UK went out of business? Wow, how many publishers and devs have this gen? A shitload more than 1. Thats only 2006-2012.
