Moral issues on selling stuff you bought? Really? So we should make it illegal to sell your house, car or a TV you don't want anymore. Maybe you consider it a crime if I donate old clothes to the Red Cross because I'm screwing the textile industry? Please, don't go that way. It's ridiculous. Maybe in the future we will have to go hidden in an alley to sell used games? People are showing this as a pro of physical media because it really is, digital copies have pros, but reselling them isn't one of them.
90% would switch to Linux? Yeah? I'm a Linux geek and not even in this case I can believe in that. Valve tried it with Steam OS and largely failed. You really think that people will forget 95% of the games being released? MS own Windows, they can do whatever they want. Guys like EU will complain, but it takes some years of legal battle to do anything, time enough for MS to do what they want. The only reason it didn't happened until now, is that they didn't cared enough. They still don't. The day they get determined to do so, it will be like squatting a fly, completely effortlesly. That's actually why I am an enthuasiast of open source software, at least it isn't owned by anyone.
Oh, and when all the fans riot, the police normally just stops them, game is suspended and the team they support gets a hefty fine, suspension from competitions and a bunch of games with closed gates.

No the moral issue on when you "Buy" a used game you know the Dev is getting none of that money just so you can save like 10€ off the full price..
This is no different then Someone playing a game that they still own and that they "Originally" paid "Full price" for on an emulator.
So when it comes to it are you morally ok with playing a game you already own and paid full price for on an emulator? At the end of the ~Day you already "Paid" for the game like you said so whats the problem?.
Also Fyi i have no problem with used games so lets not try strawman this here. I just think that when it comes down to it its foolish for a person telling someone they shouldnt play a game they own and paid for on an emulator but yet are ok with buying used games.
Companys have said both is wrong so why then does console fans seem to still think one is ok but the other isnt?.
In both cases like you said you paid for the game so shouldnt you be allowed to do what you want with it?.

you can only buy so many used game as they are avaible, if everyone buys used games then there are no games other than new copies, So it is supporting sales in an abstract way.
