Valve reminds Steam users they don't actually own a darn thing they buy, GOG pounces and says its games "cannot be taken away from you" thanks to offline installers

GOG previously said it wants "to ensure your gaming legacy is always in your hands"

I guess it’s just a matter of time before you subscribe to games, and you lose access when you stop paying.

    I love how everyone is whaling on steam, the one honest good product that does digital sales, instead of the stupid streaming and online movie sites which this was targeted at.

        No, they’re just the only ones doing it pre-emptively:

        This disclaimer appears as though it’s likely related to a California law set to come into effect next year

        Probably because they know no one really cares.

      I don’t think anyone is “whaling on Steam”. You can like Steam and also point out that they’re complicit in the “you will own nothing and like it” society.
