In order for digital games to be resold, there’s going to need to be some favorable court decisions. Right now, the developers and gaming companies prevent it from happening, but there’s been mixed results in related court cases so far. Right now, the reality of today is digital creators can prevent resale.
I fundamentally disagree.
I believe this is different. For digital content, like Amazon videos, Steam games, etc - you dont own the content. You are paying for the right to use content. I believe this is completely different.
This is why you shouldn’t take these reddit theories on what Cohen is going to do at face value. They never seem to look into the reality of making their fantasies happen. Like most conspiracy theories, they break down when you try to actually operationalize them.
Well, since Xbox and PS4 only allow you to enter the code once, what’s your play? They sell the game with their conditions. Unless that changes, this is wishful thinking. Again, why would any game creator or Microsoft/Sony not just create their own NFTs if they decided to allow for resales? I don’t seem them allowing resales, but there is no special technology or secret sauce that would keep them from just expanding their online stores that you can get to within the console.
It is, that’s why it still shows as negative on the day. Jeebus, that hit a high of 50+ last March and is basically at just under 4 now. 1 for 10 reverse split and it’s still well under the yearly high. @kevzilla You still in this thing?
Let's see how the next few weeks shake out for crypto. I still think we will see them falter again soon as the margin calls start coming in.
Not to mention that Overstock never actually did this because the brokers said they would take cash equivalents instead of the crypto dividend. This seems like attempt to combine two conspiracy minded sets of investors into the same mania. Check out Overstock's chart for last August.
Yep, stuff we’re talking about it the actual business side of things. Short term swings in these stocks have 0 to do with that, which is a bit scary.
Woo-hoo....I knew this thing would score big. Now that's a rocket shot.
I dont believe it makes sense from a customer standpoint. Either I own something, or I dont. If Im renting something, I do not own it.
Yep, I’d assume anything security wise gets a bit of a bump. Makes sense after the pipeline hack.

I believe Im discussing how things do work, you are discussing on how you think things should work.
I don’t even know how to reply. There’s literally been court cases litigating what we’re talking about. You own a game license which, when you bought it, you agreed was non-transferrable. That’s currently legal. Re-sellers need to convince courts that shouldn’t be legal. There’s no gray area here. SHOULD game licenses be transferable? Sure, maybe. But right now that’s not the case. It just isn’t.
Not only do they sell games with their conditions, they are mostly moving to selling games as a service....across multiple platforms. Difficult to imagine they could compete with something like Steam on cost or Microsoft/Sony on content without essentially acquiring some 3rd party developer with a few AAA games.
Why? Thats how it works today and I believe it is how it should continue to work. If you buy something you agree is not-transferrable, why should the courts change that?
And just wait until better versions of Stadia happen and it’s all streamed, anyway. 5G will lead to this.

I don’t care about “should.” Resellers have tried to make it so the non-transferable condition itself is not allowed, with some mixed success.
Not to be rude, but just because you don’t believe it makes sense doesn’t mean that it hasn’t already happened and is in place and not likely to change.
In my opinion you are getting caught up in "digital". People have been reselling license codes (not actual hard copies of software) for decades. Regarding re-sellers, ill say it again ... you cant re-sell something you dont own.
Heavens, no. Currently setting money on fire in cannabis, and hydrogen, and solid-state batteries.
Sure. Hence why I stated it as my opinion and not fact. See what I did there?
Depends on what you mean by nice growth potential and what kind of timeline you're looking for. Will 20-ish% in the next 1-2 years work? If you're looking for more/faster, don't bother to read this. If that works...

Well, first Steam is for PC Games, right? Kind of like a PC console so how does Steam help you with XBox and PlayStation? That’s a big difference. Does GameStop sell games for PCs? Second, if you are talking about selling your account then you aren’t the target account, what you are talking about is borderline piracy in that no one like my sons is going to buy an account for each game.
