Old news, I know, but what do you guys think about it...

Based. I hope this kills the digital market for good.

well the fact you buy all of your games in a single market system and you cannot trade them or sell them seem to work 100% fine for the system but not for the consumer.
adding any after-sales cooling time + sales fee + maximum amount that one person could sell would prevent an unfair trade.
in my opinion yes there should be a game exchange situation with no further questions. as far as the sale is concerned, some emphasis should be put on it.
i do not think it's going to work. everyone will just move to the epic store/uplay/origin who are hungry for customers. even if all the big companies come together then we will just buy straight from the developers themselves.

>fully transfer into subscription models
depends entirely on the consumers. too bad we all know they are retarded.

>France
This is from the European Union.

>Downloaded software can be resold just like software on physical media can, the Court of Justice of the European Union has said in a ruling that shreds the distinction between software and license sales.

>In July 2012, the CJEU ruled that software owners exhaust their rights to control the resale of their copyrighted products after they have sold them within the EU, regardless of whether the sale concerns a physical product or one downloaded from the internet.

you underestimate how easy it is to sell people on subscription services
you only need to catch them once with a sweet deal and then most people will stay subbed for years if not the rest of their lives because they can't be bothered to unsub

btw the other storefronts would not be immune to this, it only happened to steam first because they're the biggest

Doesn't Nintendo already do a subscription service on Switch to play their old Virtual Console games?

Eh.. it's more of a free bonus with their online service.

yeah they give access to nes and snes games for subscribing but I think most people sub so they can play online

based, so they can even lose more marketshare to epic

Yes. Humble Bundle has the Humble Trove (which is DRM-free). Xbox Game Studios has the Xbox Games Pass for PC/for Console. Ubisoft has uPlay+. Electronic Arts has Origin Access Basic/Premier.

Its not a "free bonus"
Its part of the service

Nice, even if they "win" it won't be without a cost

>Eurotards actually wanting to be slaves to Chinese malware

If it passes, it will fuck shit up royally. I like my low prices and refund policy thank you very much.

the caveat for which valve will win is that valve doesn't sell software on steam, they sell limited licenses to use specific software(games), and there is nothing in the EU regulations that says licenses can be resold

I forgot that Apple has the Apple Arcade (which is macOS friendly) and Google has Google Play Pass.

They could probably charge a larcenous processing fee and split the proceeds between themselves and the game devs, right?

>muh they only sell licenses
Not unlike the shit Oracle and SAP tried to pull.
Dil8.

yeah if it passes sales are never happening ever again.

valve would make a fortune by letting people resell their game just
>make it explicit you can only do so after 6 months of purchase
>take a 30% cut from the profits
>limit how much they are alowed to charge for it
>no matter what the person bought the game is sold without any kind of dlc

What incentive would there ever be to have sales again?

Delusional

>cinaman allowing this

Refund policy only exists because of EU legislation. Resells will make licenses more valuable but that's a good thing - it's not a healthy market when most games have to sell at a fraction of the price. If you're a poorfag just buy used games.
kek maybe that pathetic appeal to semantics would work in a burger court

>and split the proceeds between themselves and the game devs
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

europe is now a black continent cope, chink boy

That's what the other guys were doing too.

I'm sure french courts AND the game publishers would absolutely love that.
