You're forgetting that buying a used game is basically taking away the sale of a new game, unless we're talking about out-of-print stuff. Exhibit A walks into a store and sees Bluray A available new for $25 and then sees BluRay A available for $20 used. He buys the used copy, thus the sale of the new copy is lost.

As far as pirating goes, I'm only talking about obtaining a copy, not giving copies out.
You can't be serious.

This is as much a fallacy as stating a 1:1 sales lost to pirated games download ratio exists.

Part of the reason someone's buying used is to save some cash they wouldn't have spent on the new copy anyway.

I'm just glad that renting isn't looked upon as horribly (yet) by moral high horse faggots. OH GOD IT KILLS SALES. Get the fuck outta here.

Exercise your rights as a consumer, and buy and sell used if you want to. Holy shit.

Also, never ending laughter regarding made up numbers and pretend scales no one knows anything about. "OF ALL THE DOCUMENTED NUMBERS ABOUT UNDOCUMENTED SECOND HAND TRADING PROVES THAT PRIVATE SALES DON'T GOT SHIT ON GAMESTOP". How the fuck does anyone know anything about scale regarding something that's inherantly NOT KEPT TRACK OF.

(I buy new myself for a variety of reasons but to demonize the used market on principle instead of poor execution is one of the best things I've seen in some time. Thanks for the laugh, Yush)

Edit: If I propped Worm any harder my head would explode. It's simply NOT POSSIBLE.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Didn't we all make fun of you regarding this shit already, Mo0?

Oh, that's right. THE LAW etc. Where's Tritoch or Worm when you need them.

PS, here's an argument for you.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
