No, can’t sell it. But you can drop it or the console can scratch the disc and then you don’t have the game any more. I’d much rather always have the game in my account because the physical media can get lost or destroyed.
This post just made me feel a total disconnect from younger people. I will always prefer physical media and ownership; preferring some sort of license makes no sense to me.
I’m almost 40 and I’ve scratched, lost, or otherwise damaged enough physical media over the years to learn that I prefer a copy of a game that I will always own. Just because it’s digital doesn’t mean I don’t own it. And I can always play that game, or watch that movie, even if my house burns down.
If I buy a game on Steam can I sell it to you? I remember when you could just buy a game and install it, now I need another program? Why?
