1 - Buy 10 games.

2 - Install the 10 games. Disc isn't needed anymore to play them.

3 - Unplug your Xbox One from the internet forever.

4 - Go to Gamestop and sell your ten games to get some $$$ back.

But the games get wiped from your account when you sell them back.

The games are installed in the Xbox One's HDD.

When you sell them a game the "delete game X from profile Y in console Z" command is ordered, but it cannot reach your console until it goes online.

Since your console has to go online once every 24 hours or the games do not work, that point is irrelevant, plugged in or not.
