      I was thinking the same thing. I remember playing doom on pc and it was pretty clear then who the rights holder is…

      They just couldn’t remove access, so it felt a lot less like I was “renting” the privilege

      I used to be an account manager for scientific software. We were pretty explicit on the limitation of support we would give on old licenses

    It’s great to see more transparency from Steam! This move could spark important discussions about digital ownership and consumer rights.
