I do agree that have a third party publisher lead industry has done nothing but shrunk and devalue the product of video games. I wouldnt say they dont know whT they are doing its just they care more about their bottom line as opposed to having a healthy market in the console space.

Let's also not forget the Sale of used games have squeezed the pockets of 3rd party. So this might have been out of necessity. People seem to forget these games cost Millions to make and for every Gamestop there are plenty of used versions of everygame, this is in every county, somtimes town. So I would say that this cutting into their bottom line has done a lot to push them to these types of activities, lets not forget of rising costs in software developement.

How this terrible argument has managed to persist for this long is beyond me.

 

If you as a video game developer don't want people to sell your games, make sure that they are good enough so that people want to keep them.

Regarding rising development costs, don't bite off more than you can chew. Development costs only rise if you allow them to.
