I find the concept of developers saying that used games kills their profits laughable at best by the following, well for a lack of a better word, example:
"You bought a used copy of our game, we lost money on that transaction!"
"Uh.....someone at some point in time bought this new correct?"
"Yeah, so?"
"Well, you already got the money for this game when it was bought brand new earlier on. What seems to be the problem?"
I bet if my friend sold me his copy of "Adventures of X and Y" there is no issue, it seems that developers have an issue when there is a middleman involved that ends up making a profit.
Edit: They tend to forget that we bought and OWNED the copy and decided to do away with it. OWNERSHIP, which sadly you can't really say you have in case of digital games due to EULA.
I have to stop now, or else I'm going to go in circles with my logic and make myself sound more like a dumbass than I already have, just re-reading that shit makes my head hurt! @_@
