[QUOTE="NanoMan88"]Used games is worse than piracy, not morally but in terms of damage to the developer. With used games there was an actual intent to buy, and stupid people are buying used for what? 5$ cheaper? In the meanwhile the developers get nothing, while gamestop who does nothing gets a huge profit.

stupid people who.... are morally doing the right thing. Great. Thanks for insinuating the people who do the right thing are stupid. I buy used because it's legal and I have the right as a consumer to do so. On the other hand, are you saying the online passes are a good thing? Because that's what this is trying to accomplish. Either way, people are trying to accomplish and impossible reality - where everyone buys new and developers care about the consumer. What does it matter if its legal or not? piracy is legal in some countries. The simple fact is used games give nothing to the developer, who knows how many times these copies change hands.
Just next time you complain that piracy is killing the industry, look at the used games industry which is 10x bigger. If EA and all these other companies were really as greedy as people say, why wouldnt they put online activation for new games as well? They are specifically targetting the used games industry, which has been robbing devs blind.
PC has had forms of online activation for years, I dont see why consoles should be different
