Second hand has the exact same negative consequences for creators as piracy yet one of the two is supported and the other shunned. You just cannot completely condemn piracy for denying money to creators and then go on to laud second hand trade. It's backwards.

Well. No.
Second hand still entices people to buy DLC, Microtransactions, Expansion packs, Season passes and so on.

Pirated games usually include all the above or none at all and is often even locked out from having any of those things.

So what you're saying is Piracy not only entices people to buy DLC but also the game itself? Well, if that isn't more money for the creator. Unless of course the pirate is a scumbag and buys second hand.
