It's not semantics, you just are being willfully ignorant. If I pay $60 for a game, and then sell it to someone else for $40, the developers got paid for the game - they got their share of the original $60. Me later selling it to someone else doesn't change that. But they also have no right to the $40 that I sold it for, because I'm simply giving away my license to the game. To say that the developer "wasn't compensated" is obviously wrong - the developer made their cut of the game. They also aren't entitled to any compensation if I loan it to a friend, throw it in the garbage, or leave it sitting in the street.
You're still arguing legality and not practical results. Once again, nobody is disputing that people are allowed to buy and sell used games. However, when used games are bought and sold, neither the developer or publisher sees compensation. Whether or not they deserve to see compensation is another matter entirely, but the fact remains that they don't see any. Same thing applies to piracy.
For you as consumers, which is making games more annoying, stupid DRM or day-one DLC and on-disc DLC?
I don't think any of those things actually apply to piracy. Pirates don't have to deal with DRM and they get all DLC for free. No, all of those things are designed to promote new sales. That's one of the biggest reasons why digital distribution is growing popular among publishers and developers. No used sales, so they see profit from every transaction that will ever be made. |
