Trade/Gift unplayed games from library

[Clown]

If you have games on your library that you don't play, and will never play, why not should be able to trade/gift them ?

I'm pretty sure you wasn't the first one that tried such suggestion to Valve.

Of course not the first, but not the last ... So why not to try all together .. I feel from you somekind of arrogancy, why ?

But anyway, a full-fledged and one of the most rich companies in the gamming market can't provide this feature ?

If Valve introduces this tomorrow and it's optional, the major publishers will not use it.
If Valve introduces this tomorrow and it's mandatory, the major publishers will pull their games from steam and every competing digital distributor will break out the champagne and start plotting how to make their service the new big boy in town, with Steam now gone.

So no, they can't.

lol ... that's a very extremist vision of what will happen ... I don't think so

Go look at Green Man Gaming and how many major publishers support their resell system in a significant manner. And EA pulled all their games with DLC and ingame stores from Steam when Valve made it mandatory to sell your DLC's on Steam.

It's not extremist when it's an observation grounded in reality.

The fact that used games market even on consoles is being cut down says otherwise.

Perhaps if it operated under the same restrictions as the refund system. If you've had the game more than 2 weeks then sorry, too late to send it elsewhere, but if you just got it in a bundle and have no interrest in it, sure send it on if you like.

Steam is like any other person corporation, though. They're in it to maximize profit, period. If enough of their customer base voted with their wallets and actually had an effect on the bottom line they might cave, assuming the potential lost sales to those customers outweighed the missed revenue due to the expanded amount of games being gifted/traded.

That bit's easier said than done. I see so many people complaining about various things that Valve/Steam does, yet they keep buying and buying and buying. Until/unless people learn that they don't *have* to keep consuming whatever's put in front of them you're fighting an uphill battle. To an extent we're all making the problem worse with every purchase we make.

Thank you for your reply ... I'm really not complaining what Steam does, it's just an sugestion to their team ... Some people see my sugestion as something of the other world, I don't get why ? And yes, I think that this feature should work like the refund system, you have two weeks to gift it or trade ... anyway, this community, isn't really a community, some people just reply because they don't have anything to do, others just to let you down, and maybe only 5% of the people that will reply, will do that to help, try to make this sugestion even more constructive ... Shame on this community ... Well. at least I can thank you for your kindness, have a nice day !
