Yup, here comes censorship at the behest of Big Fucking Content.

You miss the point that this is censorship - and censorship always comes with mission creep. You'll soon find lots of things you like being censored too.

Don't kid about it, the games companies hate people selling or giving away their used games and are doing everything they can to stop it, what with one time codes etc. They have this unjustified sense of entitlement against it, as if they have a right to be paid again. The first sale doctrine makes it clear that they do not. It's just like Ford demanding a cut of your used car sale. You wouldn't pay them for that, would you?

Greedy bastards.
