If I don't let you resell something you bought that's ownership. I'm not talking about illegal copies. I'm talking about transferring the license to play the content you purchased.
If I take something back that you bought, even if I give you a refund, that's not ownership.
How about you buy a house, then when you go to sell it, the builder says you can't. Or you are living in a house that you bought and 5 years later the builder says, we are taking your house back, here is what you paid for it.
That's not ownership.

TIL people with organ transplants don't own the organs they bought.
TIL people with pacemakers don't own their hearts.
so has steam ever taken games from users? I mean, I have games no longer offered through the store. hell, I bought game keys from Amazon for games that aren't sold in store anymore and added them to my steam library. so please tell me how I don't own my games by your definitions.
your only proof is from a decade ago and you clearly didn't read it. because if you had read it, you would have seen this little tidbit.
You didn't buy the organ you got transplanted because federal law prohibits all organ sales.
??? A pacemaker is device implanted to maintain regular rhythm. If you purchased one from the manufacturer, you could sell it to someone else.
"Only multi player content"
So content was removed.
so you don't own your organs, and thus have no rights.
content that was removed by the original developer, not steam.
Ownership of your person which includes your organs is covered under constitutional rights, not property rights.
