>GOG is the only major storefront where I feel like I actually own the product.
How do we re-sell our GOG games to someone else?
If I own it I should be able to sell it again, right? Like I used to sell old console game disks after I was done with them.
Just give them the files and pinky promise to delete them yourself?
It amazes me that people nowadays know so little about piracy that this is somehow touted as a solution.
GP wasn't being serious.

Gog license doesn't allow reselling at all
The same way you sell your disks: find a buyer, send them the game files, they send you the money
> find a buyer
this buyer would rather buy off GOG than you, unless you give a significant discount (and even then, the trust is hard to establish).
Therefore, even if you might have a legal right to re-sell (which you really don't unfortunately), the actual sale won't happen.
That's not relevant to the issue of "ownership"
This isn't an ownership problem, it's a medium problem (and perhaps a legal problem)
