There are people that defend impossible things, even when that goes against their interests. I remember during the last gen of consoles, how some greedy publishers compared the second hand market with piracy, and how some users here totally agreed and used that fallacy over and over again.

Anyway, there's a spanish saying, "Cada minuto nace un tonto", which would be something like "Every minute a fool is born", and that is clearly visible in cases like these.

Second hand has the exact same effect as piracy. The only difference is that one of them is socially excepted.

The second hand market is legal and, unlike piracy, actually provides an economic benefit to all parts involved in the transaction.

I honestly don't see how the videogames used market is any different from the one for movies, music (back then cassettes, CDs, etc were a thing) or even things like cars or houses, and I don't recall Ford or BMW bashing the second hand market even during bad times when their profits fall like a rock.
