Their tagline is literally ‘you buy it, you own it’. But does it really grants ownership?

    I just shared all my GOG games with my family and they could install the games without a hitch. They could import it to Steam and Heroic and play it from there. Can’t do that with Steam.

    Steam tries to obstruct you from doing it, but Federal law gives you the right. Quit spreading misinformation about Steam having the power to override your property rights, because it doesn’t.

        And that makes it injustice that needs to be resisted!

        What the fuck is wrong with you, that you just want to accept the enemy’s usurpation of your rights?

        The notion that corporations get to unilaterally change the law to redefine what “buying” and “ownership” mean is some Stockholm syndrome, late-stage-capitalist, ass-backwards insanity. Snap the fuck out of it!

        Even accepting the argument that a tyrannical law invalidates rights rather than violating them (which I don’t, BTW), the DMCA only applies to things that are DRM’d, not everything on Steam.
