I always thought that used games were not affecting the industry, but it appears to be quite the opposite.

I almost understand now why Microsoft wanted to place such harsh restrictions on used games. I honestly wouldn't mind if this meant new games would be cheaper initially. Not only would I be getting a game cheaper, but I would actually be giving the publisher money, which they could hopefully use towards making more quality content.

This would explain why to buy a new game at, say, Gamestop or GAME, is more expensive than buying a game on Steam or any other digital distribution platform.

I guess this is a bit obvious though, but I never gave it much thought until now.

Considering steam games are usually cheaper than used physicals, it's still a waist... Getting a worse copy for your money.

I'm just waiting for the industry to crash even harder.

There would have to be more consoles on the market, more handhelds, more everything. Even though used games are affecting the industry, I don't think they will ever cause a crash. There are still many people buying new triple a games, but used games mainly affect lesser known games. The industry will only crash when there are so many things on the market that people simply can't make up their mind. Or if they get tired of playing games.

Oh, no, no, the industry is already crashing- there's a steady decline of sales that's been going on for years, many companies have gone bankrupt and it's only a matter of time 'till games get an even higher price.
