    If this develops into a thriving second hand market through steam, without additional cost, I'm totally game.

    I'd like to trade in my copy of Team Fortress 2 for something I'd actually play, but somehow I doubt they mean that...

    ditto...

    I can see this move possibly being a bad one...

    I think this system was initially planned to be more ambitious. Initially the idea was to be able to trade in your game and resell it for a portion of its original cost. I doubt that flew well with publishers, so they've limited to DLC stuff instead.

    Sounds like a waste of time.

    Edit: and just realised I linked to the same FAQ in the article (doh!)

    Didn't know it was, it came bundled with something...
    Is there a way to at least remove it from my steam games list? 4/5 of that is stuff that was bundled/free and I don't want to see it
