How long until things like "online passes", DLC and virtual items in F2P games are ruled to be equivalent to software licenses, and thus are forced to be resellable by gamers?
All of those things can be used as ways to avoid giving customers their lawful rights, and I wouldn't be surprised if some publishers try all sorts of cute tricks to evade the law.
Maybe publishers should consider that all their attempts at evading this generate friction with their customers which is not a positive thing. To put it bluntly, people sometimes have this "annoying" habit of gradually realizing who's screwing them...
