Basic treatise: If you buy a publisher's game used then you're not a customer of theirs so they don't really care if the "one time use" code thing pisses you off:

And on that note, used video game sales don't compare well to selling other things with things (cars, appliances, etc.). In these cases, the car (for example), fulfills a function of transportation that you lose when you sell it. A video game is usually a one or two time use type commodity. After you play through a game once or twice, you are unlikely to ever play though it again (a few exceptions of course, esp good multiplayer) and you therefore lose nothing by selling it.
