Last I heard Valve is already working on a game loaning system for Steam, probably just for this reason.

I still think it's pretty dumb that people can't accept the fact that they buy something and can't resell it. That's like vomiting coke back into can so they can resell it and save money.

nobody seems to care about the developers. do you honestly think making games tradable will improve anything?!
nope, it won't, devs will stop making retail games as they don't gain anything when people resell their games.
If they really get their way the future will be mostly free to play.

reselling/giving away used games worked before teh mighty interwebZ and DRM, and still working to this very day with almost every console game and some PC titles.

that's one of the major reasons why so many people prefer console gaming over PC gaming, despite the fact that consoles are merely limited and restricted computers.

remember how sony owned microsoft?

so why shouldn't PC users enjoy sharing their games as well?

I think the intent is that game trading/reselling of digital is going to put a big hurt on a lot of indie developers. Who have really been driving the Steam scene lately.

Except that Steam might take 10% and give 10% to the developers. Kind of like how they get money for every item sold in the market.

I wonder if the revenue from Market transactions would offset the drop in new sales?
Better put out a large set of trading cards to boost income. :D
