Considering gaming is not an essential item like clean water and healthcare. As consumer we can simply not buy their product if they do not meet our criteria. |
Things don't have to be essential for to be punishments. If the used game market gets eliminated like this, we players won't be able to.. say.. lend out games to friends. If I can't even do that just because some arsehat in a comfy chair decided this is the best way to combat stores, then yes I do feel punished for something I didn't do.
That we can choose not to buy their stuff doesn't really improve things. It leaves us with nothing.

I agree with that point. A good service compensates for many discomforts. Cheaper games is the main reason people buy used anyway.
