Ownership of the game is yours...
You don't own the game (or any software at all, generally). If you had a physical copy of the game, you could sell it, but digital copies are generally non-transferable. You couldn't sell someone your downloaded Halo 3 map pack either, or songs purchased on iTunes. First-sale doctrine is not currently considered to apply to digitally distributed media.

thats the problem, the fact that a court has yet to decide whether dlc can be resold. and it cant until some one brings it to court.

Also, the only way to remove Steam from your PC is a full format.
I've never actually uninstalled Steam before, but Steam does pop-up on the list of removable programs in Windows.

Or you could just do a ghetto uninstall and delete your Steam folder.

depends on the jurisdiction he lives in. if he lives in a country that says you can sell or give away digital copies, you can

eula's and contracts are fun things, you can put anything you want in them however if the clause is illegal then that part of the contract is null and void. this is one thing a lot of ppl don't know, contracts may only improve on the law and not re-write it

as an example an employer can make you sign a contract that says "you will only be paid overtime after 50 hours of work" but if the law says "you get paid after 44 hours", they must pay you over time starting at 44 hours and that clause is illegal

if they have you sign a contract saying "overtime pay after 35 hours" then that's legally binding as it's an improvement on the law

at least that's how canadian law works
