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.

Yeah, if anyone is rising up their glasses in celebration today... it's steam.  They're already the most popular DD platform, are already set up to more or less handle this ruling, will essentially force people to use their steam more often seeing more steam deals and games, and in general likely force more and more companies into steams hands.

BIG day for Steam.
