Quote from Poision Envy:
So how come you guys haven't been talking about the EU court's ruling that people should be able to sell their "used" digital games?
On one hand, I'd love for this to take effect on steam since I have a shitload of games on there I'll never touch. And the fact that it would also mean being able to buy a game for way way cheaper.
On the other hand, this would absolutely kill the devs that make short single player games, like Bastion and Limbo, since people would just sell it once they beat it, since there's no good reason to hold onto it.

I can see the reasons why one should be able to sell it, and why not. I guess I'm worried that if they make it too hard to make money off their games that either the games will suffer, or they will come up with new and evil ways to make us pay. Kinda like how we used to have to pay-to-play by feeding quarters, they could swing in the direction of not even selling the game, just letting you play it.
