    As far as I am aware, most of the game and sofrware companies get around it by stating you’re no longer buying a thing, but buying a non-transferrable licence to use the thing but you never actually own anything.

      Microsoft, yes but they use the wording to buy windows license for example. Game companies still use wording “buy” game. Unless they change the purchase wording, I, as a consumer, am assuming I am buying a copy of the game I can play indefinitely while I own the game.
