Well, I guess that means that as far as Valve knows I’ll still be happily slaughtering zombies in L4D2 at the ripe old age of 130
I wonder if the servers will still be up
Another way to influence companies is with your money, and GOG allows you to download entire DRM-less backups of your game.
Unfortunately they also take a cut of 30% of game sales which is annoying considering the lack of features they have compared to Steam
I just assume at this point that it is a problem with any publisher.
Epic only takes 12%!
But their store and app suck
This is likely a class action lawsuit waiting to happen.
Please? I’m in. But the settlement should be a change to steam’s policy, ideally. People spend hard-earned lifeforce credits on this shit
There is nothing that Valve could change about this with the current way games are licensed.
All your Steam account is is a collection of lifetime leasing contracts between you and the seller. Steam already forces third parties to give you liftime access even if the game is pulled from the store page, but that contract gets voided once one of the two parties ceases to exist, be it the buyer or the studio that sells the game.
Legally binding the games to your account instead of you also isn’t possible since in most countries you either have to be a real person or a registered entity to form contracts.
Time for the EU to regulate including digital goods in estates?
Fuck that, this non-transferrable license shit can go to hell. Going to move more of my purchases to Itch and GOG until someone unfucks this.
