I can't figure out how any gamer can defend used game blockings. You're the consumer, you should want options.
1. Used games weren't a problem for decades until a few years ago they all of the sudden started "destroying the industry".
2. If Gamestop hurts the industry, why do publishers keep signing deals with them?
3. Used game blocks would make any out of print games cost a fortune, good luck playing the classics.
4. Most people who sell their games use it to buy new games
5. Many people who buy used do so because they couldn't afford new anyways
6. People will not want to put money into new games (Especially new IP's) if they have no resale value
7. Why do no other industries complain about used sales? If Gamestop is the bane of gaming, yard sales are the bane of dozens of industries.
8. Competition is good for the consumer. Used games create competition.
9. Why would anyone want to give money to publishers who don't want them to own their games?
10. Game companies go out of business because of bad business and bad games, not used sales.
