| Well, maybe this is a first step of trading unwanted games in the future, but I don't think I'd want to sell anything. |

Pretty limited for a first step:

No, only games that have been bought as a gift, and thus have never been played, can be traded. Once the Steam Gift is opened and added to your game library, you won’t be able to trade it again. |
Interesting concept for the word 'used', lol
People trade old games on badly scratched floppies and CDs... |

Trading seems kind of pointless. I can buy a giftcard or the game itself and send it to who I want already. Better yet I can mail them fifty bucks or twenty even and a card.
The consumers want a way to trade in used games or games they thought were utter trash and get some of that investment back. What's so hard about this?
Oh wait! They might have to release quality games instead of these pretty shiny turds that are all graphics and no soul. |
