you've never purchased anything digitally, from any of these motherfuckers, just rented them for sometimes what turns out to be an extremely long time, and sometimes not. step right up folks, one born ever minute.
Digital games are a bit different, since you're actually downloading the game files. Games can always be modded to remove DRM, or the systems they run on can be modded. See the 3DS as a good example of the latter.
The best equivalent is game streaming. You never have the game's data in your possession, and a game can be pulled off the platform at any time. Even then though, you're usually paying for the service, not individual games.
