I am blessed to live in a world where I own my games and no one will ever be able to take that away from me.

you can't "own" digital content
archfags understand this, you're clearly far from your dream

Define software ownership in a way that doesn't imply you worship a specific corporation's DRM scheme.

I think bringing Arch (or FOSS more broadly, really) into the discussion is in fact illuminating. After all, while even free software doesn't grant you ownership of moral rights to the work (e.g. being able to truthfully say "I created this"), and copyleft licenses like the GPL have clauses like requiring you to give access to the modified source code if you are selling the work, FOSS enables you to use, study, modify, sell, etc, the software. THAT looks like ownership, not the "ownership" of an optical disk, when you can't play the game on unauthorised hardware (even if there isn't any additional software DRM-scheme, it's not like you can install PlayStation's gutted version of FreeBSD on a machine of your choice) , can't modify it, can't study it, can't make copies, or can't sell those copies. It's like "owning" a house but you actually have to beg the previous owner to come unlock the door for you, you aren't allowed to change the wallpaper, you aren't allowed to go look at what's at the attic, and aren't allowed to rent the house.
