You don't own any game, if you "buy" it you own the physical media and a license to use it. The game it's self is covered by copyright law, which is a complex quagmire and your rights vary wildly depending on where you live.

Sure, you own a license to play that game. Keyword being that you OWN that license, and it is your right to do with it as you please provided you don't make illegal copies. It is your license, and you can sell it, lend it, give it away, whatever you want, and it's none of EA or Activision's business.

Despite all such media coming with TOS/license agreement the explicatly prohibit it, and there are legal protections such as Fair Use that would likely protect the customers rights to trade and even make copies for personal use. However outside of the EU I am not aware of any court that has ruled against publishers issueing limited use non transfurable software/media licenses and it remains to be seen if anything will come of the EU ruling.
