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

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