2) They get released on DVD. By this point sales tend to be gravy. Hundreds of thousands of copies are sold to rental places, as mentioned.
3) The rights get sold to premium cable.

6) The rights get sold to Netflix streaming.
And so your point is what? That because game developers have less ways to make money than movie studios therefore they should have special rights? Your against monopolies? Please state your points more clearly so that even I can understand them.

Your right, the developer wasn't equating second-hand game sales with piracy. My mistake. He was implying, financially speaking, that they are worse. I stand corrected.

I'm sorry to inform the general public that vaccines DO NOT bestow upon thee eternal life. If you're around the age of 80 you need to be making your peace with God or the easter bunny. Whichever you believe in.
