Aparrently, in Europe it's now legal to sell your Steam account

I was lying, you actually betrayed the law

They're from Five Guys.

Napoleon Total War and Medieval 2 are way better, imo

I think he meant battle as a real fight.

I think they will not force you to "pay a tax of 50% of the value to steam". In this case they ruin their own business. People will use retail copies and sell it through e-bay. But prices may raise, of course.

I was thinking something like "let's call our licences 'game allower' from now on, and that new bill can suck our d*cks hehe"

Unless the Steam sales servers are in the EU they can ignore any ruling as it can't be enforced. Also, Steam's EULA doesn't grant you unlimited use (the Oracle EULA did), it reads more like a rental agreement.

Driver San Franciso cough
EA fucked with the customers. They got bitchslapped in the face.

there are pieces of software that you can legally sell after electronic activation of the licence on your account; the very digital licence management system of the software has a functionality to transfer the licence to another account

Well, to quote the article:

“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 license agreement granting the customer the right to use that copy for an unlimited period, that right-holder 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 license prohibits a further transfer, the right-holder can no longer oppose the resale of that copy.”

Steam doesn't sell us the right to play games indefinitely. Steam is a "rental games manager", and is required for us to access our libraries. So we're basically buying the right to download and play a game through the Steam client, for as long as we want, on as many computers as we want, but only as long as the Steam client is running and able to connect to the Steam servers. If Steam shuts down, our license gets terminated.

If I remember correctly, someone at Valve said that if Steam were to ever shut down, they would release a patch that allows users to freely play the games they have downloaded. If that happens, those downloaded games would become tradable according to this law. As it is now, we really do need a lawyer to figure out whether the law covers Steam games.

Valve would have to add an option to remove the game from your account and then it would be added to your inventory or something like that. I guess they would have to add an option to sell the game too. That would be... interesting, to say the least.

If you give your details to someone else and if Steam suspects it they have the full right to close the account. Therefor if you don't go by the SSA you get your account terminated
