You know EU already have a ruling about this matter. They understand digital purchase as ownership, not licensing for use, so if you own the product you have the right to sell it. If it ever comes to fruition it will be due to law enforcement.

 

Well, my thought like I said, I own the copy, I have all the right to sell it. Imagine if Hyundai puts a lock in their car so it can't be resold, and if a person purchases it they have to pay a fee to Hyundai themselves so they can turn the car on. Or if I want buy a house that is already of someone and that were made by a construction company, I buy the house, but to get the keys to live in it I have to go to the original company that builted and pay 20,000 USD to have the keys. I think in media, mainly physical media, the same way.


It won't happen. Hasn't happened with games. Hasn't happened with movies. Hasn't happened with music. The law only gives you the right to sell, not the tools, which is up to the platform holders, which they will never give you. There will never be a day where laws force platformers to create a meta marketplace within their own marketplace specifically so that consumers can better excercise their right to resell their digital games, because that's rediculus.
