Case Against Valve In Germany May Lead To Used Game Sales on Steam

Good. What Valve did was disgraceful and they made it clear they're not any different from all those "big evil corporations"..ie they are willing to screw you ower completely whenever it suits them.

I'm all for reselling games I have no intention of playing again.  My Steam library is full of stuff I'd part with and put towards a new purchase.

All the people saying Valve will just leave Germany and, by extension, the European Union, make me lol. :lol:

You think PC DRM is bad now? Watch what happens if this goes through. (if it ever happens globally, if it wins in Germany Valve/Steam will just leave them)Eikichi-Onizuka

Valve can't afford to lose Germany. Germany is the largest PC gaming market in Europe and one of the largest in the World. If Valve leaves them, someone else will take their place.

Used digital sales make no sense to me, it's digital, the quality will always be the same, it doesn't degrade with time. Not exactly "used".

Broad stereotype judgments regarding any group simply make you look like an ignorant fool...

They don't necessarily have to let me sell the games to other individuals.  But basically having the ability to trade a game for credit towards a new purchase works out too.  There are ways to make it work.  Green Man Gaming lets you sell your stuff back (so long as it doesn't require Steam).

There's also GameSpot UK, Australia and Asia.  They share content on the American website and the forums are shared for all of those individuals.  It's called the World Wide Web because it's for the world, whether the company started in America or not.  Going online makes you something everyone has access to.

It won´t lead to anything. Used sales are imposible in digital format. Period.

Even if they succeed in Germany (very small chance), it won´t be applied worldwide.

Besides, didn´t German court dismiss before other similar cases from the same activist group ? I have heard that this is not their 1st attempt in fabricating a case.
