A confusation on Steam though. You don't own the game, you rent it.
"The Content and Services are licensed, not sold. Your license confers no title or ownership in the Content and Services"
- Stevvo 7y agoNo different to purchasing a game on physical media. You only own the physical media itself, not game stored on it; the license is the same regardless. Some physical copies of software have gone even further; the disc itself remains property of the publisher.
- ensignavenger 7y agoYes, but you are purchasing the license. The content is licensed, the license to the content is sold.
- Aloha 7y agoQuite arguably, this puts the consumer in a stronger position in this one case: they purchased a perpetual license for the content, the license was unanimously revoked by the actions rights holder, they now deserve a refund.
- rrobukef 7y agoThen the steam-button shouldn't say "Buy" but "Rent".
