Game companies can probably right now say it's illegal for us to sell our games, if they don't give us permission to do so. By doing so we may violate the license agreement?

When game companies successfully take Gamestop to court over selling games used and win, I'll consider it. I'll also stop buying new games period. If their eula and software licenses that state we can't sell the game was enforceable in a court of law they would have already gone through the courts years ago. This is why they're doing all the other anti-consumer tactics to ruin the value of their own product to the secondhand user. (And in various cases, their firsthand user.)

Kudos Sony, kudos. Unless there are some legalities that are not currently being mentioned that are preventing this from happening, it's a pretty shamful lack of action.

I'm sure it's just because they feel piracy is a foreigner problem.

What happened to the diea that digital versions were susposed to be cheaper?

It really should be. But those people that bought into the idea that it would be the case are the same people who probably bought into the idea that CD/DVDs are cheaper to produce so a switch from bulky expensive cartridges would make games cheaper - instead of 10+ dollars more expensive. I guess the lie people let themselves get confused by is that it'll be cheaper for the company who will keep the savings for themselves, rather than cheaper for the gamer. Even still, people just have to vote with their wallet and refuse to buy digital for 50-60 dollars. A sale would have to happen or the company can go under.

Am I the only person here starting to feel like a boiling frog?

Starting? I've been seeing and predicting this situation develop for many years now. The only thing that has been surprising me is that things have been falling apart even faster than I thought they'd dare.

These devs, they work hard even if the game sucks.

Unfortunately for them, it doesn't matter how hard they worked if their game sucked. Society doesn't owe them a thing and as such if they fail to produce something society wants, there's no reason for us to feel sorry or help prop them up so they can do it again. Or are you saying we should be buying every piece of shovelware produced?

I know everyone is used to the idea that you bought, own it, can do what you want. None of us would be on this site if it wasn't for used games. But I don't see the problem with that changing.

That's fine for you. That's your opinion. Those of us who find that aspect important will allow it to affect our buying purchases and habits so the game industry had better take that into consideration while trying to put their fingers even deeper into our wallets.
