So everything is on the developer side and the billions being taken out of the market from gamestop? RIght. Sure some you may be right but majority you are not.

Yes, it is on the developer side.

 

After I buy a game, it is mine. I can sell it if I want and they have no rights to my resale. 

They don't want people to sell their games? Then don't make games people don't want to keep.

 

Also, many people buy new games with the games they sell off. It isn't a situation where it "takes away" from the industry. In many cases it actually helps. If Joe Shmoe buys God of War used and absolutely loves the game, there is a good chance he will buy God of War 2 when it releases.

It works both ways. Unfortunately these publishers think it only works in a way that harms them and they couldn't be more wrong.

 

 

They need to start understanding they themselves are a big part of the problem.

This is where I disagree.

So any time publishers don't like something only the gamers should be punished?

When do we aknowledge that they should shoulder much of the blame?

 

 

Also, which part do you disagree with? The God of War example? That situation puts the game into as many hands as possible and grants them a better chance to grow their franchise moving foward.
