Their tagline is literally ‘you buy it, you own it’. But does it really grants ownership?

    My understanding, or assumption from considering classic physical goods, is that if you buy the digital product you may be able to resell it, but if you license it it’s not buying and you don’t own a product you can resell.

    If GoG licenses you a product you can download and can archive, then it’s not bought and may not be resellable. (?)

      As said, in Germany we’ve had the rulings that software licenses can be sold and transferred.
