In order to support the developers, I normally eat the disks after I finish the game. :smile:

Wow.

Yes that's true but ffs these are OLD GAMES the royalties from these aren't going to be paying for new games now it's just going to shareholders now.
Think you need to take a long hard look at how the real world works, moaning about the trade in used games is just silly

Dont dirget the dlc sale, as they only put half the game on disc now for this very reason. If you want the full game, you typically need to pay extra pounds. Thats the gaming industry solution to preowned. Funnily enough though they dont reduce the price of the disc version by half though.

Most publishers are only interested in how the games perform in their first three months. They fully accept the pre-owned market exists and how it can positively effect future sales and demand well after the game has left sales charts.
And with the way play data is collected and published these days, companies have a very easy way of tracking how many people are playing their game at any given time, regardless of whether they bought it new or pre-owned.
The price difference between used furniture, cars and houses and new ones is significantly more than the difference between used and new games, meaning that people with financial difficulties may be unable to afford a new house, car or piece of furniture, where people who can afford a £8 game can definitely afford a £9 one.
I'm not going to give you any more if you're going to reply with something that adds so little to a discussion as 'go on'.

Gotta laugh at the comments! Surely the difference actually amounts to this:
pro: £1 cheaper
con: possibly marked disc, case plastered with stickers that leave glue behind and look a mess
Or is that too simplistic?

No, it proved that consumers can dictate when they act in concert - in this case to defeat the very proposition that if you want to buy and play a game the developer must be paid.

There are a multitude of differences. Apples to oranges.
Furniture, cars and houses, when bought new, come with warranties that may be useful as they have mechanical parts that may degrade or wear out and thus there is a big difference.
Furniture, cars and houses are bulky and large (and houses have lots of paperwork and legal costs) and thus harder to resell.
And most crucially: A used game, unless it's scratched to hell, will be absolutely indistinguishable from a new copy in terms of everyday use, and is only designed to be used for a short period, unlike furniture, cars and houses and thus can be used by far, far more people than any of the examples that you gave.
Want me to go on?

Yeah, he sold it. End of contract. While the developer doesn't get paid twice the multiple ownership of games means that a lot of people working in the industry get paid every time its sold.
Your argument is, quite frankly, nonsense - and this point was proved when microsoft tried to retain effective control over games for the xbox1, but found that the consumer wouldn't put up with it.

The developer already got paid. You think an author should get paid again when a charity sells a second hand book?

The gaming industry is as big as the movie industry now and they've been saying the same about movies since the 80's pirate VHS tapes. The developers opinion on preowned is because they're greedy, why do you think online passes were pulled? Plus what they were "losing" on preowned sales they are more than making up for by stripping down the product and putting it into an overpriced season pass.

But you've listed items that don't have 'Interlectural properties' so it's not fair to compare also Is there really a big retail market for used furniture and houses? cant see many shop keepers making profits from selling second hand furniture :smirk:
Ninbox4

Do game developers feel this way about other items in their lives too; like cars, furniture, or even that new home they bought from the housing developer?

yes paid once but if the game is traded and bought again as in this case 2 sales to different people have taken place but the developer only gets paid once, all the profit on the second sales goes to the retailer and not the developer.

Haven't they already been paid if a new copy is bought from a store?

The difference is the developer and publisher get paid on new copies so they can stay in business to create more games.
