I hate when people say that buying used games takes money away from the creators. No it doesn't. They already got their money for the game when it was sold as new. If I buy a game, I have the right to play it forever until judgment day if I want. If I were to spend 24 hours a day for the rest of my life playing a game I spent $60 for, there would be nothing wrong with that... except that it would mean I have no life..., so why is it considered wrong if I give/sell my copy of the game to somebody else, and then I no longer have the option to play the game but now somebody else does. There's still exactly one person who can use the game, which is what was paid for when the game was originally bought.

It's just greed on the part of the game companies. They know that you'll eventually get tired of playing a game, but they don't want you to be able to sell it. Basically you're paying full retail price for what amounts to a rental since, once you've gotten tired of playing the game, it's no longer any use to you. The used game industry is a great way to offset this effect: if you like a game enough that you'll want to play it again in the future, you can keep it, but if you're done with it, you can sell it and recoup some of your money so you can spend it on the next game... or on nachos or something.

I know that.
