Wow do you work at gamestop? Because that's the same kind of shit that these mofos would tell me back when i worked there(notice past tense here). If not they really did a great job at convincing you of their bullshit. A new game will only get sold once a used game can get sold 20 times, no way that this wheel turning theory of yours compensate for that many lost sales. Plus in general people that sell back there games 9 times out of 10 will buy used over new if given the choice(i worked in several of those places, so i know).
i would go and say you technically cant, ever notice that games that come bundled with something else usually have not for resale written on them. but indeed i am not aware of any court ruling going against it so lets just say its a nice big gray area.
fyi: no editor would be stupid enough to go in court for that they would get destroyed by gamestop. they would stop selling that editor's game altogether new or used, like they did with the psp go because there was no physical drive on it so they couldn't make money out of it.
true that. but if people are stupid enough to buy fake shit that's there problem not mine. if your gonna pay for something at least buy the real thing.
EDIT: sry it is late just re read the thing. what i meant by that is no one makes money from people downloading old games iso or roms from there computers. of course if you buy a fake cartrige or dvd of course some one is making money.
