Your purchased games will be digital downloads where you have no actual ownership rights.

show me evidence that they took games away from users after they were purchased and didn't give refunds back to.

    It’s about reselling them. You cannot sell your game on steam. EU made a law that requires is and then Steam converted everyone’s purchases into licenses.

    I've never resold games. I still have Kings Quest 3 in the original box, disks, and paperwork.

    why would I sell games?

    You might not sell games, but other people do especially if they don't like a game.

    Now the game just sits in a virtual library unplayed. If there was a way to sell, or loan, a game license to a friend or something, that'd be cool.

    guess I just don't care about the cost. I don't buy launch titles. if I don't like a game I just give it away to someone and chalk the cost up to learning to never buy from that developer again.

    So this doesn't feel like an issue to me because its a digital download.

    This means we know an infinite number of these games could be made. There is no scarcity issue at hand. So my digital copy sitting unplayed doesn't remove from someone else's ability to play. Therefore I don't really care that I don't play those games.

    Also, invite your friends over for a lan party

    Looking at your comments intellectual quality you also never sold a house. That doesn’t mean it would be ok to convert everyone’s property into leasing.

    I'm genuinely sad for you.

    not only did you waste your time reading through my comment history, you also thought that your weak attempt at wit would somehow inflame or irritate.

    it's clear you didn't learn anything about me because if you had, you would have known that I need to care about your opinion for it to matter to me.

    At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

    If I don't let you resell something you bought that's ownership. I'm not talking about illegal copies. I'm talking about transferring the license to play the content you purchased.

    If I take something back that you bought, even if I give you a refund, that's not ownership.

    How about you buy a house, then when you go to sell it, the builder says you can't. Or you are living in a house that you bought and 5 years later the builder says, we are taking your house back, here is what you paid for it.

    That's not ownership.

    TIL people with organ transplants don't own the organs they bought.

    TIL people with pacemakers don't own their hearts.

    If I take something back that you bought, even if I give you a refund, that's not ownership.

    so has steam ever taken games from users? I mean, I have games no longer offered through the store. hell, I bought game keys from Amazon for games that aren't sold in store anymore and added them to my steam library. so please tell me how I don't own my games by your definitions.

    your only proof is from a decade ago and you clearly didn't read it. because if you had read it, you would have seen this little tidbit.

    people with organ transplants don't own the organs they bought.

    You didn't buy the organ you got transplanted because federal law prohibits all organ sales.

    TIL people with pacemakers don't own their hearts.

    ??? A pacemaker is device implanted to maintain regular rhythm. If you purchased one from the manufacturer, you could sell it to someone else.

    "Only multi player content"

    So content was removed.

    so you don't own your organs, and thus have no rights.

    content that was removed by the original developer, not steam.
