Being able to resell digital games would completely fuck single player games. I imagine a handful of licenses would get sold at launch and then redistributed between people endlessly, until sales just bottom out completely when you can get a second-hand key for pennies. There would probably be a big shift towards games with lots of replay value like multiplayer or roguelikes.
Tbf, that's not what happened with physical games. Idk why it would be any different for digital keys.
A second hand physical game was yucky, a digital game is crispy clean. I dunno, just postulating
Lmao what?
They're saying physical games have wear and tear and are subject to people not knowing how to care for stuff. You don't have any of that for digital purchases.
