    If you buy DRM free games. you effectively “own” them not in a legal sense, but in a practical sense.

      Sure, and that’s only mostly true if you back them up.

      That said, I can’t sell a DRM free game, so I don’t really own it like I do with physical media.

        Nothing’s stopping you from copying the game onto a flashdrive and selling it to a friend

          What are you talking about selling it? We share our games with friends.

            Before online DRM, we used to buy games once among friends, dividing the cost, and then share them. At first, everyone got the disc for a few days each, but then we figured out how to remove the copy protection…

          So you’re going to put your USB stick on eBay? Because that’s what I do with old console games
