What's the point when you are not allowed to sell on your physical copy when you are finished?

What's the point when game developers shut down and we won't have a diversity of games to play besides EA and Activision games? Gamestop makes a killing off used games that they didn't even make. All they are is a glorified pawn shop who can make prices whatever they want, since buying up Funcoland. Gamestop could have changed things if they gave money back to devs for each re-sell.

This also goes out to the Ebay resellers, who are ruining the videogame market from legitimate gamers. They are buying up rare and special editions and launch consoles to sell for their own profit. Take the rare games out of their hands and they will have to finally get a real job, instead of playing the middleman.

That works the other way around too

On the other hand games are gonna be more expensive because of a lack of a second-hand market and the XB1 fee of used games. Meaning people could buy less games causing the companies to go down anyways.

Besides it's the companys job to make a quality product that gets people to buy it. Lot of good companies go down allready simply because people would rather buy DLC for the next Battlefield or CoD game than new games. Some people just can't afford to buy new games and DLC over and over. It's not even the issue of a real job for some but perceived value, like even if I have money to buy a game, I might not buy it if I consider I don't get my moneys worth.
