how they will kill physical games and the 2nd-hand-market (and the lending of games) for the poorer.

Yeah, I remember when you could buy a physical PC game and then resell it when you didn't want it anymore.. oh wait, they'd always fucking refuse 2nd hand pc games, and not even give refunds because the CD key would have been seen by someone.
