"Where the copyright holder makes available to his customer a copy - tangible or intangible - and at the same time concludes, in return form payment of a fee, a licence agreement granting the customer the right to use that copy for an unlimited period, that rightholder sells the copy to the customer and thus exhausts his exclusive distribution right. Such a transaction involves a transfer of the right of ownership of the copy. Therefore, even if the licence prohibits a further transfer, the rightholder can no longer oppose the resale of that copy."

About to be perma renting games and not having unlimited licenses. If it’s all rentals this is null and void it seems. Besides not making companies offer this service but there’s no way they are going to manage a system for those transfer (basically just selling an account is legal now) and host fresh repeated key downloads for every transfer since that costs them money.
