What makes buying used games carry such a stigma?
How is it ANY different from buying used -anything else-?

(Not a point here: Gamestop has unfair prices. We know this. It doesn't really matter, cause people seem to act like even eBay is evil for allowing second hand gaming.)

I'd maintain that it always needs to be, because, damn, consumer rights, much?

Yeah the main problem is that none of the money goes to devs. But to be fair, if this Steambox thing gets off the ground or if we stop living in the stoneage and have consoles with legit digital distribution for all their games, they won't have to worry about it.
