The crux of his argument is that buying games through Steam is "renting" games for the price of a purchase.
The other is that one can't sell games from one's Steam account, which is apparently something common for people to do within the PC gaming community that I wasn't aware of.
I did buy a used GoTY copy of Dreamfall once. Only because it pre-dated online registration/DRM.
If you can "gift" a registration code when you have multiple codes through Steam (done to encourage bundle purchases), technically you could sell them as well.
As for the whole renting argument, technically ANY software that requires any sort of online sign in or registration/verification process would be the same thing from the standpoint that the publisher could upload a patch that disables the game or the ability to save.
Permanent rentals I have no problem with.
