>>107674616yea idk how you'd sell a second hand gog game. since traditionally you'd do so by selling the original disc, which was itself the 'key' used to verify if it's an original copy
that's what you're selling/buying when you pick up a second hand game, not the software itself, but the physical media which proves in some way that you own something that was produced/sold by the developers.
nobody would but a cd-r with a gog game on it even if the seller promised to not keep a copy, because such a disc has no externally recognised value. it's a complicated issue.
for drm-free stuff which is distributed as files downloadd over the internet, there's no such "unique token" you can physically give to someone to transfer ownership. like if i sold my original cd of "tempest 2000", what's really being transferred is the physical disc itself, something which is relatively rare and difficult to precisely replicate, while the software therein isn't difficult to find freely. it's rarely said because it's implied, but when you buy old media what you want is /the original media/, not just a license to use the data contained on said media.
idk how you could sell a gog game second hand, since there's no physical object you have to relinquish that proves you're the owner of the game
