Yeah, I agree. This is the best for the industry. Ask THQ.

THQ didn't die because of second hand sales. THQ died because they put all their eggs in the UDraw basket and it bled them dry. That and overpaying for licensing for certain franchises and sales not going as they expected.

What happened to them was not the consumers fault. Why do you blame yourself and agree on punishment?

Sure, they made some gue mistakes, but used game sales did not help either.
Ask the other 140 studios shutting down this gen.

Businesses shut down not due to 2nd hand games sales. They shut down due to bad business decisions. This is how the industry works. It has always been this way. When one falls there is usually another to rise in it's place.

This is plain and simply a case of them wanting to blame us for their mistakes and they don't just stop at the blaming either. They want us to now fund their mistakes.
