Devil's advocate (Gaming)

Take cars for example, you're buying a product that has gone down in quality since it was first sold, and that was the case with MOST used items.

It is the case with used video games too:

1. The disc or cartridge will have wear and tear.
2. Multiplayer servers will be less populated or in some cases shut down.
3. The technical aspects of the game will have aged.

It is 100% exactly the same.

That's not to say they are going about trying to resolve the issue in the right way, but there is absolutely some logic behind their fears.

There is no logic there. I do not recall ever hearing the music or film industry decry used sales, even though nowadays you are still buying a digital product on an optical disc, same as a video game.
