Yes, which sucks. But I also wonder how much of the resurrection of PC gaming came from increased sales due to the lack of a secondary market and convenience of digital distribution. Loss of that market segment could be a local minima for customers while the market as a whole improved to their benefit: more games, more conveniently. Nonetheless I don't like that I don't quite actually own my games. While GOG doesn't allow transferring games to another user, you at least own it and can save a backup if the installer. In theory that means you could even go on the "honor system" and loan or give the game to someone else and not use it yourself anymore.
