For games that need online activation, or are tied to an account, the ownership cannot be transferred, so you have been had, I'm afraid. You probably can't get your money back, either, so you now have a shiny coaster.

But just to address what someone else said, you can buy some used PC games, as long as you only want to play the Single Player campaign (and not multiplayer), but you also have to do a bit of homework first to make sure the game you want is not activated online or tied to an account. A lot of recent games do require online activation, but you will find that games released prior to 2005 are much less likely to have this requirement.

If you are buying any game second-hand for Multiplayer, then you will be out of luck, because the serial code will already have been used, and you will find yourself blocked. So if you want to play the Multiplayer portion of any PC game, I would advise you to buy that game new at retail.

Return it, and get your money back big time. And if you want to play it badly buy it new.

Hahahahahahaha. Serves you right.

No you can buy it retail, don't be so naive. You really think such a high chart game would be download only?

If you think about it that sucks, I buy used pc games all the time, most of them were 2 years old or so, have never ran into a problem with steam like that. Are they making it now where you cant buy used pc games as well? Why are pc games cheaper again? Unless I have to have it on release I always buy the used version on consoles, why not?

Well apart from it being against the rules (i think (to resell used games)) PC devs are just selfish and place DRM on anything and everything they can, anyway they can.

What the hell is wrong with you people? "Serves you right?" If you bought it, and are done with it, why the hell shouldn't you be able to give it to someone else?JigglyWiggly_

This guy speaks the truth. It's not his fault devs are selfish sly companies. He obviously didn't know. Also don't you think you should point the blame at whoever sold him the game?

He is at fault yes, but so is the seller, more so in my eyes. Selling on a game that is knowngly tied to his account while the buyer is blatently oblivious to the fact is just not a very nice thing to do. The buyer has lost money and gained nothing whilst the seller has gained money and lost absolutely nothing, he will never need that disc again.

Agreed, this, but it is also against terms of service, and end-user license agreement, to sell used pc games.

Though that being said. I don't care, they (most of them) have got enough of their profit, and I don't care that they want yet another G5 airplane in this certain shade of gray. If they put more of the money they make from games into future games instead of pocketing so much of it, the problems would start to minimise.

It is illegal to resell games in general, yes even console games and yes you got lucky those games fit in the "you got some of the few "safe" games" and " you got lucky because the seller is a serious person". Devs/publishers don't care enough to lurk the streets and filter everything but if they'd catch they're eye worse things will happen other than just going out of business.DanielDust
