Devil's advocate (Gaming)

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.

As long as the game can play 1 doesn't matter, the product is the data, not the medium, unlike a completely physical product (especially in today's gaming world without even a manual). Not all games are multiplayer so 2 doesn't always apply. And 3 matters less the closer to release it is, and most used games are purchased closer to release than say with a used car.

So 100% is a SEVERE exaggeration. At least be reasonable when arguing.
