The publishers will get greedy, you just know it. Just like the music execs, they've been spouting sh1te too long for someone to put their neck on the line and say 'we were wrong, our business model was weak'.

When will the industry wake up and realise that second-hand game sales are not "lost revenue" because there's no guarantee a person who would have bought a second-hand game will buy a new game instead.

Furthermore, if you no longer allow trade-ins then there will be a significant dent in new game sales as gamers can no longer trade-in games to get a discounted price on the new game.

If they abolish second-hand game sales and revenues drop as a result, I wonder who they will blame?

It's amazing when you type 'pirate' into google image search, how many of the results are images of women wearing an out fit that, while somewhat 'in the piratical style' , seems totally inappropriate for a life on the ocean wave.

However..

Don't recognise those ones. What films are they from?

Top one looks a little like Karen Gillan so my guess would be Dr. Who, not completely sure though. And I have no idea on the other two.

*EDIT* indeed, Karen's pic has "Doctor Who" in the URL. mystery solved :D
