Zenimax threatens "first sale"

[A Black Falcon]

Zenimax is claiming that their only issue here is that people shouldn't be allowed to resell something while calling it "New" if they aren't a store authorized to sell new products. They think it should be called used. But if something really is unopened and is in new condition, I think calling it "new" makes plenty of sense! It's new, nobody has used it before. You're taking things down a slippery post in your post here, but it is possible things could go that way in the future I guess, so yeah, I hope Zenimax gives up on this...

But on the other hand, it is true that scummy people resealing games then selling them as new is a problem which preys on sealed-game collectors. I doubt calling them used instead of new would have any impact on that, though.
