Stranegly enough, even after seeing all the counter-arguments, I find myself completely agreeing with the OP.
If you didn't buy the game brand new, you kind of have no say at all in its development or support. Unless you paid the exact amount that the original owner did for the new copy.
Look at it this way. Person A buys new for $60 (and that money goes to the publishers), plays it, gets support for it, possibly DLC, mod tools, etc. He sells it to you used for $30. He pockets that cash. Where exactly do you see the incentive for any publisher to provide YOU with any support/feedback option?
You don't.
Don't get me wrong, I think the whole "Online Pass" thing is complete bullshit if you think about it logically, but for non-online portions, the OP is pretty much on the nose.
Just, the rest of you are confusing his statement of "no right to complain" with the literal right to vocalize your complaints. He's actually talking about the expectancy that used game purchasers have about getting updates or their feedback heard and utilized.
