Valve reminds Steam users they don't actually own a darn thing they buy - eviltoast

I guess it’s just a matter of time before you subscribe to games, and you lose access when you stop paying.

    Good for GoG seeling a peoduct you iwn.

    I am fine using steam until they eventuakly change leadership and go down the tubes as the last 20 years have been the best computer gaming experience with convenient updates and support for games of any age, community connections for playing with friends, and easy access to a massive number of AAA titles on steep discoubts, independent games, and lots of little fun free games like Pineapple on Pizza.

    Yes, I know I don’t own the games in the literal sense. But the convenience and lowered prices have been worth the money in the long run.

      Gog also sells you a revokable license. From the legal side they’re identical, from a practical side they save you one step.

      GoG may make some market share up with the new CA law. We’ll see. Some competition would be nice.

      Won’t fix any of the always online games being bricked when the servers go offline, but still would be nice
