What? You're against the idea of renting games too? So, does that also mean you're against the sale of second-hand games?

I never gave second hand games much thought, but renting games makes a far bigger impact both ways (the renter and the creator). Purchase the game once then make thousands off it by lending it to people for money which none goes to the actual creator of the game. That's always felt wrong to me, it's basically just earning money off someone elses hard work. And there is obviously a case for this, it's why it is illegal to rent video games in Japan.

So, you think if a person makes a house and someone else buys it, that they shouldn't be able to rent the house out because the person that originally made the house doesn't profit off of it?
