People not reading the SSA before clicking accept doesn't mean Valve was lying, it only means stupid people do stupid things.

No, stupid things like signing a contract without reading it and then complaining about something that was written on it since the beginning.

Oh no, I can play any game I paid for from my library as long as I can have disc space and I can pick from a catalog of almost 100.000 available titles. The horror! By the way, I was being sarcastic.

I knew day 1 what I was buying and I was a friggin kid back then. XD

A contract to buy a game doesn't make sense.

Licenses to use a piece of software were always sold. Only now, they aren't tangible. Nothing else changed.

A license to something you don't own nor have the right to play or preserve now and any time in the future. Great purchase!

it makes as much sense as buying a ticket to watch a movie, or buying a ticket to a concert, sporting event, etc.

you have only bought licenses for computer games even when they were on disc. the difference now is that the license agreement can be enforced more easily.

So that makes it right? Also the physical copy prevented anyone from taking what you own away. The license was more for copying than owning.

Exactly. That is the problem and buying a product isn't going to the movies. LOL!

As long as Steam stays afloat. Which seems to be the case for the forseeable future. I have nothing to be afraid of.

But, I sure won't start to whine 19 years down the line when I knew day 1 what I was purchasing on the platform.

That would just be moronic.

what you want the license to mean does not matter. the license covered who can USE the product and what your options are with it. you NEVER owned it
