This petition was submitted during the 2019-2024 parliament
Rejected petition Give us the right to sell digitally bought games
Give us the right to sell digitally bought games in the same way we can sell physical games. As when we buy a game on something like Steam it is then tied to are account and there is no way of selling it unlike when you buy a CD version of a game.
More details
This is because when you buy something - not just games - you should have the right to sell it on once you've finished with it. As with everything else you buy physically like clothes and books, you can do what you choose with it, this should be the same with digital goods.
This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
Petitions must call for a specific action that the UK Government or House of Commons is responsible for.
Decisions about whether digital content can be resold are a matter for individual retailers and rights holders, not the Government or House of Commons.
As a result it is not possible for the Government or House of Commons to take the action you have requested.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
