Newslink: Bethesda blocks resale of used game

Many gamers sell their their used, physical games, often to supplement spending funds to buy more games. It’s such a big part of the gaming business that almost half of retailer GameStop’s profits come from selling used games.

But it looks like one publisher, Bethesda Softworks, may be seeking to rein in sales of used games online. Bethesda recently sent out a notice to at least one seller on Amazon’s Marketplace who was trying to sell a sealed copy of The Evil Within 2, demanding that they remove their listing. That letter included a phone number for sellers of Bethesda’s games to call, suggesting that the company is sending out such notices to multiple sellers.
