You have the right to do whatever you want with your copy so long as you don't produce or distribute more copies. That's the law.

You do not.  Even though those games I looked at didn't have EULA's, they did have fine print explicitely saying it is not fine to copy or reproduce the content in any way at all.

You can sell your license (game), but you can't sell the content since you do not own it.

You've already been disproven on the license thing. The game is not a license, there is no EULA. That includes Bioshock 2, I'm finding plenty of evidence for a Bioshock 2 EULA on PC online, but none on the consoles.

 

You can't distribute further copies, but that doesn't prevent you from doing anything you like with your copy. Just like with a book you can share it, trade it, destroy it, edit it, whatever you want, it's yours.

Alrighty, sorry for being late.  I was busy yesterday and didn't have time but this morning I took a few minutes to look over the Bioshock 2 EULA (and yes, there is one in the console version) and even look at my copy of The World Ends With You.

  1. Again, Bioshock 2 has a EULA, I have reaffirmed every game has one which I will get to in a second.
  2. The Bioshock 2 EULA explicitely calls out its license and what you can and cannot do with it.  I don't have the time nor the want to type it out because there's a lot of it but it reaffirms everything I've said.
  3. An interesting thing in I noticed in the license agreement was the bit I saw in the The World Ends With You Manual.  They both have the you cannot copy, redistribute, back up, blah blah blah bit.  In TWEWY, that is the license agreement.  If you can't copy it, you don't own it.  That's the part I was missing yesterday and that's what every game has at the bare minimum.
