GC obviously needs to clarify their explanation, but my understanding was that the registration process somehow associates the game with system information to prevent installation on more than three systems. Giving your ID to someone else is unnecessary. Let the new owner open his own account with his own ID and password. Why wouldn't that work?
Well you are right they do need to clarify and part of the problem is this semi-information blackout and no new news or clarifactions.
In theory it should work, they are a new owner of the game and should have the three slots for themselves while you keep your id and password for other games. Only reason it might not work is they tie the registration of the game into product key code (at least that was my understanding), and maybe somehow that cannot be undone since they are not giving you a new id and password for each game that first registration of the product key code is always linked to that id and password and since the id and password would always be active for other games any one game cannot be de-registered from one id and password set then re-registered to another. Just a guess on my part.
