And yet contributed NOTHING to the game developer. Meaning you fed a corporation like gametop which doesn't produce anything... and contributed nothing to the developer to fund the NEXT game.

I don't think you truly understand. Gamestop siphons money out of the development process. Companies take revenue and use it to pay for their next project. Gamestop just takes it.

You spend SLIGHTLY less money (gamestop buys day old games for like $35 and sells it for $55). Thats $5 less than retail new... but instead of the publisher getting ~50% of the money they get ZERO. If used games did not exist, the publishers wouldn't need to account for the lost revenue and could reduce the overall cost of the game, implement sooner/ more frequent sales, could eliminate the practice of day one DLC, etc.

You CANNOT be someone that partakes in the used games industry and simultaneously bitch about DLC without being a hipocrite.

na, im not allowed in gamestop anymore... i buy them at a small local shop, they are realy nice people, try to help as much as they can, and they dont pay you nothing for games.

 

if people sell the games after days, well than something isnt right with the games. 

if publishers would force the studios to make better game, nobody would sell their game to gamestop after some days...

You are assuming that all games have severe replayability for every person. So far i've gathered you aren't a microsoft fan -- but Halo 5 appears to be the most hyped upcoming game at the moment.

If someone was one of these anti-online players they would only play Halo for the single player. Their campaign (I thought i heard this... i could be wrong) is rumored to be around 8 hours long. This means that someone could be the game and return/ sell it within the span of a day.

The Order 1886 is a case of a game that has low replayability for almost everyone due to the lack of multiplayer. This caused (IMO) the majority of the hate.  Platinuming the game took < 10 hours. and I personally know someone that returned (not sold) the game back to gamestop after achieving the plat.
