As summer rolls on, shorts get shorter, tops get scarcer, corner shop Curly Wurlys get goopier, and the video game sales, oh the video game sales keep on coming. Green Man Gaming sat in the shade sucking on a Calippo as other digital stores held their summer sales but today they stood up and strode into the scorching sun with a determination that says "I…

A big part of the industry's support, such as it is, for game download services such as Steam, GamersGate et al is that it kills the second-hand/trade-in market. A sale's a sale, a customer's a customer, and shops don't end up with endless dusty racks of second-hand copies of Call of Duty: World At War that only confused mothers try to buy when their kid…
