Nvidia locks down games

Making friends and influencing people

Nvidia has decided to impress its customers by blocking them from giving away or selling bundled games – after all punters love it when you tell them what to do with something they have bought.

According to Bit-Tech Nvidia is adding some form of DRM to back up its existing terms and conditions forbidding such activity.

Nvidia is worried that people are seeing bundled games aren't a mere bonus but a discount waiting to happen. You can get the game codes and traded them for flog them on.

If buyers buy multiple GPUs for an SLI/CrossFire setup they will get three copies of a game and selling to off them will help reduce the cost of getting such an expensive rig.
