I don't understand all of the hatred being sent EA's direction. Video games now cost as much to make as major motion pictures. The only avenue video game developers and publishers have to make that money back is by selling their games. Every time a used game is sold for 5 dollars less it takes money away from them. You can't tell me people paying 55 for a used game wouldn't be buying new if there was no option for a used game.

You can say that used sales hurt the movie industry just as bad but I don't believe that is true. A movie has a chance to make it's money back in theaters long before anyone is selling used dvds. Video games only have the one chance to make money for the companies and that is with new game sales. Yes, with DLC there is now more of an opportunity to make money back but making 5 dollars here and there doesn't offset however many 60 dollar purchases were lost due to games being bought used for 55.
