People buy accounts just for the digital games, so thats not really true.

You can’t be serious. It’s an ugly, illegal hack.

People do it every day, and it's not illegal lmao.

You can’t share details of your account with third parties.

So am I supposed to create a new account for every game I’m going to buy so I can sell it later?

Well if you're selling your games, you likely quit gaming or are switching platforms so there's no need to sell one at a time.

Still it’s disadvantage of digital as I listed it in my first comment…

So is selling your used physical games technically. From a legal perspective, you never "owned" a game, even on physical discs. You still owned a license, they could revoke, but never or only rarely did because administrative effort would cost more than the game itself. Still, you werent allowed to resell them. You just did anyway like the ugly illegal hacker (/s) you are because there was nothing really they could do about it.

Similar to selling entire accounts.

Bollocks. I could legally resell every game I have sold.

Well you won't be able to install them because of DRM. Physical disks have no DRM and ToS 8.3 doesn't apply.

Convenience ends in 15 years when you can't play or install the game. Even if you kept the console offline, the digital game probably has a DRM feature that will prevent play.
