I applaud Sony and Microsoft for taking the necessary steps to ensure that true core gamers don't lose out on potential great new titles because the whiners cause talented developers to quit.
Game developers aren't the only ones who have their product sold used. So where's the crying from the folks who make movies about used DVDs? Or the people who publish books about used books?
All this is is the game developers blaming consumers for the fact that they aren't making games that are good enough to entice people to buy on release rather than wait for the price to drop or used copies to be available. And for games that aren't made by the bigger publishers, new copies being available in the first place. I know there's some games I would have rather have bought new, but a new copy wasn't available for purchase.
Give us good games that are worth our money and people will buy them new and few used copies will be available because people will want to keep the games rather than trading them in.
