You are buying an experience, something you consume with your brain rather than consume physically, when you are buying a game. The people making games aren't toiling for hundreds of man hours so that you can hold a dvd in your hand. It is so you can experience the game that they made. Once you do experience it, if you hand that disc to someone else, or sell it to gamestop to sell to someone else, you are, having already completely consumed the experience, allowing someone else to do so without the developers making any money off of it.
THAT IS HOW IT IS DIFFERENT.
