Steam: Reselling your games Vs. Massive Sales

So here's an interesting thing. A German consumer organisation is planning to take Valve to court because, by European law, consumers should be able to resell their licenses for digital products. Steam currently doesn't offer this feature and is thus technically in violation of this law. However it is believed that because publishers know that games bought on Steam can't be resold second hand, they can afford to throw their games into the massive sales up to 90% off.

Total Biscuit talks about it for a bit in this video here:



So what would be your preference? Would you like the ability to resell your Steam games if that meant no more Steam sales and all games would be standard retail price? Discuss!
