Submission + - Publishers want a slice of used game market (sfgate.com) 3
grigory writes: GameStop's business model depends on a healthy flow of used games: incredibly "[GameStop] enjoys a 48 percent profit margin on used games". Game publishers do not see a cut of the secondary sale because it falls under the first sale doctrine.
Now, some publishers and manufacturers want a piece of the pie.

Interesting picture of companies fighting for your business, and (suprise!) complaining about being left out of the money stream.
