I guess it all depends on where you get your used games from. I liked Boogie2988's video on how places like gamestop try help me save a few dollars by pushing a used copy of a game on you because they get all the profits vs if you buy a new something like 90% of the money goes to the creator.

I like the notion of used games, but I like the idea of permanently owned re-downloadable games even better. So if they go away in replacement of an all digital library (eg. steam, playstation store etc.), I say it is a win over-all. PS. Older games prices usually fall anyway.

If EA, Ubisoft, etc want to make money on used games so badly, they can open up a store. It's not like they can't afford it. They want to have their cake and eat it, too- they want income from used sales without the expense of running a store that buys/sells games.
When you buy a used anything, 8 out of 10 times (just a guesstimate) that money isn't going to the company that made it.

It helps the cheaper people to access more games and thus gives the games a wider audience. If a game company explicitly banned used game sales, it will get a lot of hate.

Used games were my gateway to tons of games series while in school and growing up. If not for used games I wouldn't be into as many games as I am now.
When I bought used I did so because I couldn't afford new, so it was be a gamer and play used games or game less and buy new games twice a year.
I'm all for used games; although the price of them is getting ridiculous in my opinion.

If someone doesn't want to buy the game new, they simply won't. If a static price was introduced with no alternative, a lot of us would stick to our current libraries or good free games.
