How do those licenses currently work, actually? I’m guessing you mean stuff like vBulletin – surely the software they provide you is digitally distributed, so do they allow you to transfer or resell your licenses?

I know vBulletin does allow to resell their license as you please, but the catch is that a specific license can only be transferred once. So once you buy it second hand you're not allowed to transfer it again. But part of such script licenses is that you become owner of the code they provide you. That's how you're allowed to modify it and such. The same doesn't hold true for game licenses since I don't think you become owner of the game assets and code. I guess it depends largely on the conditions stated in the license.

There's part of this you're not quite getting. You own your TV but you don't own the right to watch it, just like you don't own the right to play your games.

Er... when you buy a game you are buying exactly that. The right to use the software, thus the right to play the game. So why shouldn't you be able to sell YOUR right to play a game to someone else. You lose your right to play the game and someone else gains it.
