1 points by pelogrande 10y ago ↗ HN

I was thinking a long time ago, and do not understand,why that one can buy and download video games in the format "dematerialized" and not be able resell it, the like are done with physical games. So i was starting in creating a platform to resell its dematerialized video games. What is your opinion, do you think!

Most people will have their games in closed environments like Steam or Humble. And you cant easily sell a game there if not your whole account.

Is there any more to your concept i dont get?

well i'm not talking about steam or somthing like that. I was talking about xbox or playstation. In this two platforms you can by a game directly and download it but never resell it like physical games.
