With Steam you could sell the game and then 'gift' it to the buyer but not sure there is anything similar on Origin.
Some games are not tied to your account ! i know some early windows live games allow multiple uses for example batman arkham city can be used multiple times but newer games tend to be linked to some sort of account .
Arkham city is tied to your gfwl account, its just allowed to be installed on 5 machines.
From what ive seen games are generally only one or the other, so if you have it tied to an account you can play it from anywhere with that account or if it isnt then you have limited installs.

No you can't.
Can't what? Gift a game? I assure you that it is possible.....I've had several that way.
Greg said:Probably a slight misunderstanding. Your post said you could sell the game then gift it to someone.
That is all correct but once you have activated the game on your account, then that is not possible.
So you can't gift a game you've already played? I always assumed you could....my bad.

That would be great if you could and the second hand market would be thriving, but sadly not the case.
Although all games should by law be made to provide a demo so it then gives the consumer a chance to try before they buy.
I think it would ruin it really. Ok, we might get some games cheaper but loads would wait for the games to crop up second hand etc.

This is why I get games by alternative means first.

Download
Well on the somewhat obvious assumption "download" means to acquire a full version of a game illegally, then discussion stops here please. There's no place for those conversations here.
