**Basic Understanding**: Alright, so when you buy a game, you’re usually getting a license to play it, not actually owning it outright. This means you can’t just do whatever you want with it, like sell it or give it away. It’s like renting a movie instead of owning the DVD.

**Digital vs. Physical**: If you’re buying a physical copy, you might feel like you own it more, but even then, the game still comes with a license. With digital games, it’s even more obvious—your account might get banned or a game could get pulled from the store, and poof! You lose access. So, always back up your stuff!

**Terms and Conditions**: Seriously, read those terms and conditions, or at least skim them! They usually outline what you can and can’t do with your game. Some licenses are super strict, while others might be a bit more lenient. It’s good to know what you’re getting into.

**Game Mods and Ownership**: If you’re into modding games, keep in mind that some licenses don’t allow it. You could end up in hot water if you mess with the game in ways they don’t permit. Always check if the devs are cool with mods before diving in.
