Does buying a digital game mean you own it?

No, when you buy a digital game, you're typically purchasing a license to play it, not ownership of the game itself, meaning the publisher retains rights and can change terms, revoke access, or remove it from marketplaces, though some platforms offer more user-friendly licenses. This contrasts with physical games where you own a copy you can resell or keep indefinitely, while digital purchases are tied to your account and subject to Digital Rights Management (DRM).
