Sure you can sell them, but the future purchaser knows that due to the key that comes with each game it's not possible (or highly risky) to play online. You're getting the same effect with pirating a game, therefore the used games market for PC games is tiny. It looks like people can still trade with used games for one more generation, but after that 90% of all sales will be digital through the major services and that will be the end of used games anyway. |
People did, but they just kinda were told to shut up and deal with it. How steam is set up is that you never really own any of the things you've purchased as your account and only access to games can removed at any moment. It's not a very similar situation.
And it's super easy to pirate PC games, which is why it's not as big a deal if you can't find something. Cracks are available for everything.
