EU court rules people can resell digital games

Finally some good news! I've been waiting for quite a while for such a ruling.
Edit: Seems this cites an article from 2012, I didn't notice that (and it's still news to me). Though there's still hope that it'll happen, EU is slow, but usually eventually gets shit done.

The EU doesn’t mess around, their definition of digital purchase is what matters, not the wording in steam EULA
Yeah consumer retail has implied contracts that override anything you write in a TOS or EULA. You can add certain things with those but there's still a basic commercial transaction happening that is bound to the rule of law.
I'm mentioning this because I remember EU going after Valve sometime in 00' or early 10' because of this, and remember Valve basically saying "well, we will no longer sell digital goods then, enjoy your licenses". I know I remember this but I cannot find a source on google...
