It's not good news. It's going to encourage DRM (even hardware drm longterm) since that is the only way for a 'reseller' to legally 'sell' a digital game. And think of the indies that usualy sell digital versions: now they have to keep records forever for when a customer wants to 'resell' a game - which means they'll be pushed towards platforms that have that like steam or not make the game available in europe at all since they don't have the resources to comply with the law. What happens when a company goes belly up? Even if the game is 'unlocked'? The last guy holding the game is forbidden to sell it since there is no more DRM platform to assure single ownership? who is supposed to keep the records of ownership? It's a burecratic nightmare, distributed version without hardware DRM. With it, it's just a nightmare, full stop. This is if they don't stop 'selling' games altoghter and start 'subscribing'. After all, if they are going to keep databases, might as well do that anyway. Artificial scarcity imposed from on high... good luck suckers
