Just a quick Google will show you others that have had their accounts locked and even apps removed from peoples libraries (e.g. https://www.reddit.com/r/Steam/comments/1pzpny/steam_has_now_officially_removed_their_first_game/ https://www.reddit.com/r/Steam/comments/1pzpny/steam_has_now... )
Only gaming launcher that's different would be GOG for their focus on DRM-free...
- sonicanatidae 3y agoIf I own a game on Steam, and I own many, and it's a game that I tend to come back to, I just pirate a copy and store it on the NAS. If/when the day comes, I still have what I paid for. A game. I don't really care what the law says. I care that I can be without something I literally paid for, due to corporate sophistry, that I have zero recourse to address. Well, it's addressed now, at least in my personal case. The other side is I rarely support this model any more. I haven't bought a Steam game in years, because one day, they'll all vanish, just like my money did.
