At first glance, this might seem a reasonable argument. But then, after taking it in I realize: he already got his money for the game once. If that customer didn't keep the game, that is not the customer's fault. He decided that he was done with it, and wouldn't ever like to play it again. Do you ever hear of furniture people going around yard sales and demanding a piece of the pie? Of course not, that would be silly. In a normal world, it is greedy and disrespectful. So why is this guy reasonable?
Unfortunately, he is not alone in this sentiment. I've seen numerous quotes much like this from many big 3rd party publishing companies.
I'd put in more, but that'd just be a rant, and I need to get to work.
