I think buggy and broken games are increasingly becoming a problem. Its just cheaper to use the fix it later strategy. It is nice games can be fixed with ease but it is a pain how some developers are relying on this and it shows. If it isn't ready delay it.

"I won’t go into the pros and cons of the second-hand video games market, but do publishers really need to inconvenience gamers?"
I disagree with this part. It may be an inconvenience spending more for a game but then again it is an inconvenience when a million or so copies are re-sold with nothing going back to the developer. Its just a consequence of more and more people wanting games on the cheap. I find online passes more of a discouragement to use games. When I bought MoH is turned out more expensive to get it used than new because of the online pass. I personally do not buy used unless it is the only option (not in production).
