Unless laws on licensing software change this will never be allowed.

This has been covered many times on the forums. The license the devs are selling is non transferrable. Meaning it is not allowed to be moved to a different account for any reason. Valve cannot force them nor would they ever try.

Valve, developers and publishers say no, not in million years and they are the once who decide license terms. Good luck trying to convince them otherwise. "Hey I have great idea that will make you lose ton of money and is likely to put you out of business. Why don't want to hear it?"

And why would Valve and the Devs want a secondary game market inside the store they sell their games?

In other words, you want higher prices and no more discounts.

Which will cause prices to go up. I'd rather pay $5 for a game and keep it, than pay $20 for the same game and then trade it or resell it for a few dollars later.

Once you create a second hand market you basically penalize developers for offering dscounts.
Instead you encourage them to hacve high prices and keep them high so they dcan make as much money as possible before the trade ins start cannibalizing theyr revenue.

Things in life have a cost. Are you willing to pay that cost? The monkey paw awaits your response.

Me & Others™ do not want this in any shape or form.

Not gonna happen. Secondhand market was already being killed before digital stores became common.

Consoles are foing the digital only route as well. Think about why that is.
Developers and publishers don't want you selling or trading their games.

Sure, but ask yourself this; Would the game developers want you to have a game trading and selling feature? Every single game traded or sold is a sale those developers didn't make. That's lost revenue. Why would those developers continue to publish on a platform that loses them revenue? Then, as developers abandon ship, the gamers would follow.

Your "neat idea" would be the death of the platform.

Right, and devs just want to be paid for their game, hence why the current system is in place. I hear gamestop may be where you want to look into for being able to trade physical games, either that or seek employment.

You don't own your games, so you can't sell them.
