It's even worse because someone that doesn't deserve it is making money. That's like double theft.

There are a few games where the real ending was locked behind DLC. Asuras wrath springs to mind. This means if the service to obtain said dlc was ever pulled youd never be able to see the ending.

No, reselling requires a sale to begin with. Plus it puts money back into the gaming economy. The guy who sold it to Gamestop can buy another game with the money. The store that sold it can use the money to buy more stock of new titles as well as used ones.

It filters through eventually. Any game sale is a good game sale.

If a used copy is resold one time, then that's two people per one new game sale.

If two people pirate the game, that's zero new game sales.
