as many developers, publishers, and even some gamers claim it to be?

I'd say I don't think so and it would be stupid for some developers or publishers to want used games to be banned or for people to stop buying them. Their argument against used games is that video game software are much more expendable than any other products that can be sold used. Novels, Graphic Novels, and comic books are almost, if not, as much expendable as video game software, yet you never hear any authors or comic book writers begging the industry that they work for, to stop people from buying their products used so I don't understand what makes the video game industry think they're so special to think they can just halt or prevent the existence of used video game software(physical copies), whether games of older/previous generation consoles or contemporary game software, because they feel that they'll supposedly lose so much profit from used games that it also supposedly "hurts" the game industry from a budget perspective.
