Games stop selling at some point. If a game stops selling to the regular market at one time, and five years later it generates revenue to the publisher through a used game sales marketplace, of course its a win for the publisher. A used games marketplace that is digital can be controlled in a whole other way than at a physical store. For example, the publisher could set a time limit, meaning the game cannot be resold until a cetrain amount of time has passed. It would be the same principle as with Games with Gold or PS Plus.

Games don't stop selling with digital, dude. That's the point. Five years later, that game would still be bought new with digital. It would just be severely discounted. That's the win for the publisher, since they still get all of the profit. No used games, no time limit. Just price drops and pure profit.

Yes but all that extra profit comes out of our pockets, or means limiting the amount of games we get to play if money is tight. So unless you are a publisher yourself, i don't get why you seem so happy about a digital-only future.
