so with the new app you can buy a game over the xbone app, complete it, and resale it?

DRM != being able to resell. On Steam, your game is linked to an always-online DRM check. If you don't connect to the web eventually, the games won't work. If your Steam account is banned, games won't work. If Steam gets out of business, games won't work. X1 games don't have this issue.

Do you even know what you are talking about? Steam has no always-online-check. You need to be online to INSTALL the game (which is logical because you have to download the data). If you install from a disc (retail games), Steam needs a one-time internet connection for the activation. After that you can switch to the off-line-mode of Steam and use all your Steam-games weeks or months offline.

Sure, if you get your account banned and switch Steam to online-mode, your Steam-games will stop working. But so will digital games you bought on XBL, PSN, Origin, Uplay when your account gets banned... digital X1 games are account-bound and have the same issues!
