    GOG doesn’t give you ownership of the game the way physical media does though. Unless they’ve added a feature to sell your used games?

      Hard drives are physical you can even put it on tape or break out the floppies. No drm is the real winner and true ownership

      Good point, I’m guessing it probably falls short of physical media in that way. As I understand it, they let you download an install file for the games you purchase, which you can save and use offline. I doubt that publishers would put effort into enabling a second hand games market

        That is true, you can download and keep the install files wherever you wish. You could burn it onto a CD if you want to have it like in the old days.
