Here's my issue. If a game is indeed USED, doesn't that imply that someone has USED it? As in, gone to a store, given the money necessary to purchase the game, then later given that game to someone else? So the game we are talking about has already been purchased, the publisher has already made money on that copy of the game. So now....what, they want to be paid twice? Don't really get it.

No, they simply wish to have a monopoly on the game market, so they try and handicap used game sales as much as possible in order to ensure that a person has to buy from them, making their game sell more and put more money into the publisher's pockets.

I have nothing against the used game industry, it's a natural part of the free market, and I can see why publishers get upset over this, but it's still a non-issue to me.
