So my fellow gamers on the other side of the pond, reading about the age verification system that has come to steam gave me inspiration to write a short protest song. Your anger is misplaced if you are focusing on Steam/Valve. They are simply complying with the law., people's ire should be focused on the ones who made the law in the first place.

Britons Toss Your Tea Into the Sea

They say you need papers to walk through the door,
Proof of your years just to browse as before.
But freedom’s not measured by numbers they keep,
It’s found in the people who rise from their sleep.

Britons, toss your tea into the sea,
We did it once, now join in with me.
Refuse the chains dressed up as ID,
Stand up online, let your voices run free.

A harbor once echoed with crates in the tide,
Now the waves call your courage to stand side by side.
No tax on your spirit, no guard at the gate,
The net should be open, not ruled by the state.

Britons, toss your tea into the sea,
We did it once, now join in with me.
Refuse the chains dressed up as ID,
Stand up online, let your voices run free.

The world is still watching, your voices resound,
From Boston to Bristol, let freedom be found.
Lift up your banners, your song and your say,
The tide of tomorrow is rolling today.

Britons, toss your tea into the sea,
We did it once, now join in with me.
Refuse the chains dressed up as ID,
Stand up online, let your voices run free.
