A New Law Just Forced Valve To Change Steam. (Steam is still the same but now they have to state that it is a license and not ownership) - eviltoast

TL:DW Steam has now changed its language from buy game to A purchase of a digital product grants a licence to the product on steam. This may also be non compliant with the new regulation as it still uses the word purchase. Also GOG used this opportunity to let you know their games come with an installer that they cannot take away from you.

    Nice, this is only the 90000000th time this has been posted! Seriously guys, STOP. This didn’t change literally anything. It’s just a clarification to comply with an upcoming California law.

    STOP POSTING THIS IT’S NOT NEWS

      I haven’t really seen anything posted on on beehaw about it though it might be we are not federated with the communities that posted it or I have been on at the wrong time to see it. Also thanks for pointing out that the change is a clarification going to add that to the title since it could clickbait people into thinking its a change with how steam operates. cheers.
