Comment on Do you wish that you could recycle games?
Kelly@lemmy.world 1 week agoAny platform that offers transferable digital licenses will get a lot of customer loyalty but is likely to have mainstream publishers boycott it.
It could be structured so that everybody wins e.g. the purchaser pays ⅓ less than the “new” price, with their payment then split evenly as cash for the original publisher and store credit for the seller.
That way:
- the purchaser gets a discount
- the publisher gets a cut of the sale
- the seller gets credit to spend on new games,
- the platform gets that credit spent on their store (plus any additional money that might be required to complete a purchase)
As a customer I would find that attractive but I think most publishers would consider it a slippery slope.
