"there's no second hand market for my game purchases" is an integral part of that reasoning. Why don't we just fix that too.

Even if there were a 2nd hand market, prices would likely be lower than the brand new price paid days after release.

It's that brand new price Facebook would be refunding after a ban.

So the same perverse incentive exists even with a 2nd hand market.

Doesn't seem likely that they'd be refunding the full price to me.

It would still be simpler to go bulk rather than selling piecemeal. But yes, fixing it would be nice regardless.
