What? It should be clear from the arguments made that the money does reach the developers (in theory), because the lower effective price point increased sales in the first place, and because people may spend the money they earn on buying another game.
Besides, when you buy something you get the right to sell it on. That's a fundamental tenet of capitalism. The idea that there should be anything wrong with reselling a game mystifies me. Do we chastise people for buying existing houses because they're not supporting the construction industry?
