Let me reiterate, I don't want game devs or publishers to be hurt but I also think consumers should have more rights and not risk losing content they buy licences to and lose all control as if they bought a CD.

You'll probably complain about the consumers, well take it up with Gamestores which are the ones preventing that cash going to developers. Used games = bigger audience who could go onto buy DLC (Money goes to developers) for example and since you can buy season passes now without the disk, how is used games a problem now? Also I pirated a game (Worse that used games apparently) and I enjoyed it and bought the game on Steam so the developers got my money. So there is no problem its just companies crying over nothing and using any excuse to squeeze money out of its customers. Remember EA is trying it has no money and yet Bioware are releasing free DLC for multiplayer, oh yes microtransactions another money making scheme. How ever I don't agree with valve since PC games use CD-Keys and reselling the game would mean re-selling the CD key which somebody has already used which is why you cannot trade them into a shop after you open the seal.
