Yeah that bullshit logic is as ridiculous as it is greedy. Every other business deals with the secondhand market without resorting to greedy nonsense, why can't videogames?
Could you imagine if when you bought a car, you got a one time use key that would only start the car using your fingerprint? Then if you sold the car you had to pay 1/6th the cost of the new car to get a new key for the new owner?
Unfortunately I don't think gamers will revolt in enough numbers to stop this sort of practice. I think the nickel and diming will only get worse for games in the future.
