What cracks me up is you never hear car companies complaining about used car sales, or Guitar companies complaining over used guitar sales, and construction companies arent complaining over selling "used" houses,why should games be different? You bought the game, it is yours to do whatever you want to with it. Play it, use it as a frisbee, or sell it yourself when you're done, its you property, so do whatever you want with it. Yes, companies claim that you are merely purchasing a "liscense" to use the software, but I dont think that policy will hold up much longer.
The problem is that game developers want that cash that they lose to used sales, so they've started including more DLC, or in the really annoying cases, locking roughly half the game unless you have a certain code, that only works once with a new copy (aka EA and locking out multiplayer until you buy an online pass)You have every right to buy used games, so don't let the developers complaining get you down. I've started buying a couple of new games from developers I really like so that they'll get the money, but I would say roughly 90% of my games are still bought used.
TL;DR, there are used markets for almost everything else you can imagine, so why on earth should games be excluded. Dont let it bother you and buy however you feel is the smartest way to buy.
