Yeah, that does suck for the developers. I would rather see developers put something in the license agreement in the software that prohibits resale for commercial interests. That would have to be coupled with cheaper games, however, as I'm not going to pay $50 or $60 for every game that comes down the pipe when they aren't AAA+ games. Either that or set up some sort of system for resale that DOES give the publisher a cut through services like goozex. It is intellectual property, after all, and the licensor of said property can set certain rules... It would require complete industry cooperation and I dont' see that happening, though.
