Similarly Japan has the same system the Japanese game industry blocked game rentals claiming they would hurt game sales and reduce revenue.
In the Belgium case Kotaku reports that root of the problem is that rentals not paying publishers the rental money and buying the retail copies of games and keeping all the rental profits.
