The physical vs. digital games debate is really about ownership, not format

The author argues that the real issue in the physical-versus-digital games debate is ownership: digital purchases typically grant only a revocable licence rather than true ownership of the product. Physical games, by contrast, give buyers permanent ownership independent of publisher decisions. The piece calls on the industry and consumers to take buyer rights more seriously.

Should buying a digital game give you full ownership of it?
