Comment on Do you wish that you could recycle games?

  I just had a look at their offer and it has a few issues.

  • Customers can’t resell a game license until 90 days after its release day and 7 days after their purchase (whichever is later).
  • The option to list a license for sale may be revoked if the publisher delists the title
  • The resale price is 100% of the current store price for the title but the reseller recieves only a 25% “resale commission”.
  • This commission can be paid as store currency “IRON” or credited to your original payment method for a fee. If you original payment method has expired then only IRON is available.

  So they keep 75% of resale revenue, the purchaser doesn’t see any discounts, and it can’t be used to access delisted games?

  Its a bit of a monkey paw.

    I imagine that’s the only thing they could get the publishers to agree to. Still, it’s better than nothing!
