Hah ha, you're not wrong :) Oh well, how about furniture then?

Heavy Rain developer estimates $13M loss on second-hand sales

How about books then? You get the same value from second hand books as you do from buying them new, but you don't hear publishers bitching about second hand sales.

The car analogy isn't a perfect example, but it isn't utter crap either. Lets be generous and say that it takes two years for an average driver to rack up 100,000km on their odometer... you won't find a two year old game on the shelf going for it's original release price; hell, you can get Arkham Asylum for all of $5 these days (released in 2009).

As for your breakdown of the economics of game prices - I figure you're probably jut making that up because used games barely factor in to the calculations. The reason (aside from general inflation) that game prices are going up is that development costs are going up... studios are sinking hundreds of millions of dollars in to producing AAA titles these days.

Sweet jebus! So the man didn't like the game... maybe we should send an email to Africa and tell them of our troubles.

So offenders are going to be sent an angry letter?

I could send out a bunch of letters demanding that all of you pay a fine, but I don't think it'll get me very far.

Wow, another bunch of losers trying to make quick cash from the hard work and success of other people... go software patents!

Seems like this is more of an ego trip than a game. Being the sole developer of a title is no selling point in my books.
