news Sony patent allows tracking of second-hand games and the ability to block their usage

Unless gamers step in to stop it, I think that what companies want eventually is absolutely no used game market. Unfortunately, I personally think that eventually everything will be online and that it will be impossible to buy a used game. It makes sense from the company's point of view, but hopefully publishers will realize the huge market for used games. After all, if there's a game $60 new and $30 used, I would buy the used one. With this patent, I might not even buy the game at all.
