I never sold my games, I stock them up, these are relics.
For the online thing, Sony had a patent to write on one part of the bluray the psn account linked to the game if I remember correctly, so there are other solutions.
You buy the game and didn't like it : There's always the possibility to only tie the account after x hours in game, and if you don't like the game, you exchange it in store.
Friends : Well, if it's tied to the online account there is always the possibility to connect with it on antoher console when it detects the game is tied to another account. By writing the password on the disc for example, so that you wouldn't need to be online to connect.
