Care to back that up? because it seems that you are feeding me with gamestop model, but there is no resale fee here, or store credits. I am telling you that if this was possible I'd basicly stop buying games and would share them with my friends...
The only way that steam can still profit from that is if this move will bring more customers to them (the way discounts work) which I highly doubt, because the services they provide cost them money and do not take in consideration this. The developers on the other hand, who already scrap the bottom and studios are closed left and right, will see even lower profit margin and cannot continue, if Steam would go this way I suspect they will take their buisness to other platforms that dont.
As for the extreme case example, such websites dont work, you mean something like piratebay or megaupload?
