  I was pretty sure Steam was getting dunked on because you don’t actually own the games according to the contract. I was just pointing out this is also true of any commercial piece of software.

  For example, you go to GameStop and buy a physical copy of your favorite game. When you install it he EULA makes it clear you don’t actually own the product, just a license.

    True but if I own the .exe or physical disk, it’s going to be a lot harder to stop me playing the game than if I’m accessing it through a platform.

      That is a good point.
