the whole point of this ruling that steam will have to make due for a way to allow me to resale my game, so less taking it literally and more reading between the lines...

Steam can already achieve this:

Allow its users to trade games they own with the same method they use to trade gifts, the money either being transfered to Steam Wallet or directly to a bank account.

Or simply allow users to trade games just like gifts and how the payment is made is of no concern to Steam, users having to use sites like eBay or PayPal to transfer money from one to the other.

Edit: There is also a digital distribution site that allows you to trade-in a game you bought, it is called Green Man Gaming. Not the same as reselling a game, but it is close.
