Steam also places DRM and states in their EULA that you pay to license the title and not own it. Looks like you’re a Steam fanboy. We shouldn’t be fanboys of anything but simply notice the good and bad thaf companies do because either way they aren’t our friends

Developers place DRM, that’s not s requirement of Steam publishing. Also, 99% of digital stores state you’re only buying a license. That’s a problem with modern society, not Steam.

So Steam is part of the problem. They can simply not have that in their EULA. With that attitude no change will ever happen for the better

I don’t think blaming Steam for society’s ills is a valid response.
