Publishers overestimate their necessity.

So there is another industry that has brand new items being sold used within a week? lol No. Which answers your first and 2nd paragraph of text.

And no again lol  You can still resell your games.  Trhat money goes back into games.  You just dont buy brand new games as used anymore.  I already pointed this out the first time i said anything and I asked you also to not reply as you already have your mind made up.

If you didn't want a reply then don't quote me in a thread.

As for the rest, as I stated, there is nothing to prove that the 2nd hand market hurts gaming. However, there is plenty of studies to show it helps to provide a healthy ecosystem. Oh yeah and those XBone games can only be sold to approved retailers, meaning I can't go to eBay to get a maximum return. I must agree to whatever stores like Gamestop want to give me.

I prefer choice.

 

You are right though, neither of us are going to change our minds. You believe devs and publishers deserve special treatment that nobody else gets while I say they play by the same set of rules everyone else does.
