When Microsoft announced the Xbox One, it unveiled a vision of the future in which all games would essentially be digital and could be shared between multiple people via a friends and family account. This vision failed to catch fire with the public for a number of reasons, including Microsoft’s insistence that the console must remain always-on, and the inability to resell games. It’s interesting, therefore, to see a rumor that Microsoft might revisit the concept of a digital marketplace from an entirely different angle — one based on explicitly allowing gamers to resell their used games, albeit at a pittance of the purchase price.

The rumor comes from a NeoGAF user who claims to have seen it on Reddit. Obviously it’s rather far from official, and it doesn’t offer much in the way of detail. Heck, it could even be fake.
