As others have said, selling your used games won't really matter. You already paid for them, so the companies already have their money.
It does make good business sense to NOT give advance copies to companies that will give them bad reviews. They want to make money. However, it is stupid to do so if 99 out of a 100 times the reviews ARE good. If anything (and as we have seen from various posts), people begin to ignore what magazines like EGM says if EVERY review for a particular company is good because then one questions whether those are truly the writer's opinions on the game.
At any rate, it doesn't matter TOO much because 1) that means less publicity for that game unless it gives advanced copies to other magazines in which 2) if this is true people will not believe as much in the reviews of that companies' games because they know what will happen if that company were to be given a bad review. Furthermore, 3) for EGM, that just means they will get a few more games from the other companies or perhaps take up a new company or two.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
