Valve Sued In Germany Over Game Ownership [Slashdot]

[DP ServBot]

An anonymous reader writes "The Federation of German Consumer Organizations (VZVB) has sued computer game distributor Valve because it prohibits Steam-gamers from reselling their games. Steam users own the games they purchase and should be able to resell them when they want to, just like owners of traditional card or board games can, said Carola Elbrecht, project manager for consumer rights in the digital world at the VZVB, on Thursday. But while those traditional game owners can resell their games whenever they like, Steam users often cannot, she said." http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png (http://twitter.com/home?status=Valve+Sued+In+Germany+Over+Game+Owners hip%3A+http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2FWiVVX4) http://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png (http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fgames.slashdot.org%2Fsto ry%2F13%2F02%2F01%2F0235251%2Fvalve-sued-in-germany-over-game-ownership%3Futm_source%3Dslashdot%26utm_medium%3Df acebook) http://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/gplus-16.png (http://plus.google.com/share?url=http://games.slashdot.org/story/13/02/01/0235251/valve-sued-in-germany-over-game-ownership?utm_source=slashdot&utm_medium=googleplus)
