In the case of a used game, the creator already got compensated for that copy when it was sold the first time. Now it's getting sold on, the only person who needs to be compensated is the person who sold it the second time, and the middleman if they used a store.
We wouldn't be having this discussion about used DVD/VHS movies books or Vinyl/CD recordings, so why have it about games. The original creator was compensated for every copy that has ever been sold. Only one person gets to use it at a time, so it's not like there's a magical extra copy. On the other hand, pirating converts one sold copy into many. Only one royalty (or other form of compensation) goes to the creator for many copies in existance. I can't really vote for any of those options, though. They just don't seem to match my position, no matter which option I look at. Jam it back in, in the dark.
