Imagine you buy a book, you know own and can do as you please with it, and even after reading it you can sell it or give it away. This is the same as a physical copy of a game, you own that copy.

Then instead imagine you get a drivers license, it gives you permission to drive cars, but you can not just transfer the license to someone else. You also do not own the license as it can be revoked if you break the law. This is what a digital copy of a game is, its a license to play their game.
