THQ may not have been the best example no, as they did make several mistakes as well. However I didn't say that the used game industry was a cancer, I do believe however that some of the amazing revenue and sales it generates would be better invested in publishers and developers, especially as games now can cost hundreds of millions of pounds.

One example I read for example was a game that had sold 3million units - yet thanks to online data the developers knew that 8million people had registered copies of the game. Basically that means that 5million copies of the game were either sold second hand, pirated or shared. Either way thats a lot of sales the people who made the game saw nothing of. I don't believe that is particularly just.
