It’s about reselling them. You cannot sell your game on steam. EU made a law that requires is and then Steam converted everyone’s purchases into licenses.
I've never resold games. I still have Kings Quest 3 in the original box, disks, and paperwork.
why would I sell games?
You might not sell games, but other people do especially if they don't like a game.
Now the game just sits in a virtual library unplayed. If there was a way to sell, or loan, a game license to a friend or something, that'd be cool.
So this doesn't feel like an issue to me because its a digital download.
This means we know an infinite number of these games could be made. There is no scarcity issue at hand. So my digital copy sitting unplayed doesn't remove from someone else's ability to play. Therefore I don't really care that I don't play those games.
Also, invite your friends over for a lan party
guess I just don't care about the cost. I don't buy launch titles. if I don't like a game I just give it away to someone and chalk the cost up to learning to never buy from that developer again.
And how do you give away a digital game?
I filter it out because I don't give a shit?
Looking at your comments intellectual quality you also never sold a house. That doesn’t mean it would be ok to convert everyone’s property into leasing.
I'm genuinely sad for you.
not only did you waste your time reading through my comment history, you also thought that your weak attempt at wit would somehow inflame or irritate.
it's clear you didn't learn anything about me because if you had, you would have known that I need to care about your opinion for it to matter to me.
