When you own a game, you own a license to play said game, and that license is fully transferable to another person via sharing/selling. You do not own the game itself, as in the intellectual rights to the game. Owning a digital copy of a game is like owning land with too many local zoning laws. Yeah, you technically own the game/land, but once zoning or DRM restrictions make it so you can't actually use/sell the land/game, then from a pragmatic standpoint, you own nothing.
