Should books give credit back to the publisher every time they're resold?
Should CDs?
Should cars?
Should houses repay the builder every time they change owners?
What you're saying is absolutely ridiculous. One product, one sale. Resale goes to the owner.
I agree, but the problem is that unlike with other markets, in this one you've got companies like gamestop buying brand new games back for $20 and selling them for slightly less than the new price and pushing that on idiot customers who want to save $5 only days after release while there are still tons of new games sitting the shelves. I have to wonder if there's no way they can just hold GameStop accountable, but I think that would mean a lengthy court battle and fees, when it's easier for them to just push the costs off on the consumer.
