[Sad news] Court “Steam users have the right to resell downloaded games”

The French court issued an important ruling this week that may change the way the game platform Steam is going. Its content is to allow EU consumers to resell game titles purchased on Steam. In other words, even if the game was downloaded and purchased on Steam, the consumer admitted that he had the right to resell it, just like the packaged version. The EU originally has a law that allows you to resell a genuine purchase, regardless of the intention of the original seller. This also applies to digital products, and according to the Paris High Court, which ruled, Valve's policy prohibiting resale violates this law. Valve, who runs Steam, claimed that Steam is a subscription contract that sells usage rights (subscription contract) and not a download sale, so it violated the law. However, the court rejected the claim that the reality was selling out download sales. * Some excerpts from the link below.
