But isn’t that always with software? I mean, you don’t own the game. You own a license to the game.

Began? The pirate era’s been going strong for quite a while now. This just gave it an extra boost.

I’m more attracted than ever to not spend my money on anything. At one point their are going to tax your vocal chords and ability to move so you can’t sit around a camp fire and play guitar or even talk without being fined.
I say we deal with these tyrants the same way the French used to. And that can mean a lot of things.

The only things i have bought so far is valve complete pack, CS2 prime status and geometry dash. Haven’t bought anything else, anything else is all pirated.

Anyone who started this tirade over the last few years is an absolute idiot/sheep. This is how it always have been and the fact that people are screaming about it now is that they have been culturally manipulated to do so

right from the start they said the games are not owned.
however, in the event that Valve scuttles STEAM, they have had a concrete plan and procedure to transfer authentication to local machines before shutting down the servers.
most, if not all, other digital platforms have just said users are SOL when they pull the plug on their own servers.

UUUUUU
nothing changed.
nobody will take your games away
the were able do it whenever and you would not be able to do anything anyways. Valve has prolly more disposable lawyer money than any of us.

This was always the case, iirc california changed a law do it had to be shown, so valve just made it visible everywhere.
That being said Gaben has stated that if steam was to ever close down, he would release it so you could still play the games you owned. We just have to hope gaben picks a good successor

Steam: ‘You don’t own the game.’ Gamers: ‘Time to set sail!’

“if buying isn’t owning, piracy isn’t stealing.”
