Oct 14th 2011 4:50PM (Joystiq)if you're selling it, it means YOU are no longer using their server. A game company sees USERS play their game actively for 3-6 months ON AVERAGE. Let's even say YOU play it for a year. 80-90% of the NEW GAME buyers will not be playing in a year's time. That is EXPECTED, and factored into the costs of Servers and Maintainability.
Now if everyone sells their game used at the 1 year mark, the numbers and length of time and stress on servers expected and need to support just DOUBLED (assuming they play it for about a year too).
They sold their games because they didn't care to play them anymore. They had new games to play. It's unfair to expect publishers to support used game users online. It's just not fair. You have the right to play their game online til the cows come home. But most don't play like this. You move on, which is why u sell games (you don't play them anymore) and that "SPACE" you freed up on the server is not for someone else to take YOUR seat at the dinner table and get seconds.
