The inherant flaw with DD is your purchase has no equity.

That doesn't have to be a problem. It just means that DD games have to be cheaper than retail games.

In the end, no matter whether you resell a game or not, you paid a price for it (if you resold it, it's the difference between the price you bought and the price you sold it for). If a DD game is sold at this price, DD wins since you get to keep the game.

 

They would have to be nearly free, to sell at the same price as the equity you get from purchasing a used game and keeping it pristine, because you can sell them for as much or more than you paid, if you're good.

The amount of people who make profit or lose little from reselling games is probably not very significant, so it will hardly be those people who set the prices.
