Re: Selling VG Storm licences
@ulisesmonge40: Unfortunately this is tricky business. From a moderation standpoint, you appear to be wanting to make an honest sale, so there's nothing inherently wrong with your intentions, however it would probably be best that you put any potential deals on ice until there is word from the developer.
There's a slim chance of an arrangement of this nature actually being made. I could see it working for Manamon 2, since the license is tied to the purchaser's email address should they wish to use online functionality. However, the earlier games had no server-side verification, or at least none that I am aware of. Perhaps Manamon 1 might, but the older games very likely do not. So then it's a catch 22, because the developer either doesn't feel that a transfer arrangement can be made, or is stuck making the arrangement off an honor system trusting the original user to delete their license info. And of course from a technical standpoint there's no way to actually enforce that short of an rdp session, so that introduces a new risk factor. This is why the issue of refunds is so complicated within decentralized digital distribution, because there's almost no guaranteed way the developer can actually reclaim the license from the user, and a license agreement can only do so much.
TLDR: From a technical standpoint, I wouldn't hold your breath. Though if Aaron is willing to make the arrangement all things considered, then by all means, have on.
