You regret it down the line, maybe they resell you the same game again. Double sales on 1 game, to the same person! score.

You regret selling the game, and your down a game to play, your more likely to buy a new game.

You think "I can get 6$ back,... maybe I should buy it digitally (instead of physical)" and give ms a higher profit margin on game sales.

You're only going to get back their currency.  So, if you're selling them a game, you were already planning on buying more.  If resale value is an issue, you're better off buying it physical.  A membership with Prime or Gamers rewards gets you 20% off, so you're already ahead without resale value.  

They are somehow assigning a monetary value to you not playing a game.  They're not paying you for a product, they're literally paying you not to use a product.  It's baffling.

Perhaps BC is turning out to be a lot more work, better pay you to delete the game and forget about it :p
Or the servers are getting too full, gotto make room in people's accounts :)

It's store credit, virtual currency, only there to encourage you to spend more. They could give a 10% discount on the next title if you already on the previous one. Yet putting some money in your virtual wallet gives you more incentive to use it.

Or perhaps it's a loophole to prevent having to make a system where you can sell your digital licenses to other people.


Anyway whatever it is, I wouldn't spend $60 on a digital only version in the first place.
