Microsoft is thinking about digital trade-ins for Xbox One games
However, that might be about to change soon. In what might be a dramatic step forward for digital ownership rights, Microsoft may be looking at introducing a form of digital games reselling. In a survey, Microsoft asked respondents if they would feel okay reselling a digital game they own for 10% of the game’s price. While 10% does not sound like a whole lot (it would be only $6 for a full priced game), this is the first indication we have even gotten of the ability to sell our digital games onward.
How would this work, though? Who would we sell the games to? Would it just be us relinquishing our license for a small monetary benefit? Would we be able to sell our games to our friends, for example? How would this work with discounts?
A lot is unknown right now- but it’s good to see that someone is having a conversation about this all important topic.

They wouldn't be able to sell the game to other people, otherwise there would be no reason at all to pay full price for them from Microsoft lol.

If they could bump it up a tad more it would be great, but if you look at it getting some money back is better then letting a digital game just sit there to never be used again

I like the idea of this but not Micro$oft taking 10%. They should do the same thing Steam did where you get the full price refunded but you have to refund within 2 weeks of buying the game and have a certain gametime on it.

Prices for digital games are too high, they need to address that before anything else
