    Steam doesnt make you pay for subscription fee and theres no expiry date for those games, so it’s fine I think?

      It’s still something granted to you at all times, you don’t own it. If a fart gets stuck in their asses they can change the grant. It’s why actually owning is something desirable.

        I agree, owning what we purchase is much more desirable. What I was trying to say is, Steam did not change their business model with or without that notice. Moreover, it isn’t as bad as some of their competitors - they dont use subscription model for example-, so I think, for me, it is still okay.

          Okay, the way it is now is acceptable. I just wanted to add that this way can change at the drop of a hat. And yeah, Steam is indeed the best the industry has to offer.

            I understand. Yeah, the trend is going into unfavorable direction. I hope steam can stay this way, but I’m ready to wear me old hat again if they go rogue.

            What do you plan to do when Steam follows the market and become subsription-based or when they start taking away people’s games randomly?
