    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

          That’s not what we’re doing. Not giving steam a pass for doing the same bad shit that you hate other companies for doing isn’t putting society’s ills into steam. It’s just not being hypocritical.

            Nobody said steam was better because of their EULA, so calling Steam out for something every developer on the planet does is what’s hypocritical.

              Not nearly every developer puts DRM in their games and not every platform that distributes software says you only license the software, many let you own it

                  So let’s all band together and not purchase things from companies that don’t let us own what we bought. These companies will have to change their behavior if they see a fall in sales. Let’s make ownership the majority again
