Check out this thread and tell me what you think: http://www.matrixgames.com/default.asp?URL=http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=727129
So the logical conclusion is you can't trade them either? Also by the sound of it if you do the new owner may not be able to download updates for it if they get their update registration software working the way they want to.
If you ask me this is just plain facist! A few considerations, with direct download games you can't shop around for the best price. You are locked in to buying from the publisher who can charge whatever price they want to (and they do!) Even HPS distributes to other online stores if you want it at a lower price. The advantage you get from buying from HPS direct is they will replace any damaged CD's in the future.
No Demo you may pay 60-80 bucks for a game you hate and then they say don't try to recoup your losses.
This is really effecting my opinion of their operation. I really like UV for example, but these business practices are down right draconian. I realize every one needs to make a buck but come on...
