I felt like I was a long long long hold out against steam, waiting until ~2009, because of these reasons. Giving up Right of First Sale because you happen to be using an online service is an insane trade off for convenience, & it makes me mad & sad society has abnegated it's property rights like this. Now a days though I have 600+ games on Steam & wow it's just so nice to have, does so much. At least they made Linux gaming workable again. Mark Lelmey's Terms of Use (2006) is - from what I can tell - the definitive write up on clickwrap licensing & the use of contract law in software to erode property rights to nothing. This framing defines our era, is what has allowed enshittification to begin & consume us; if we had rights & could modify things, there would be a possibility to resist the perpetual slide of software. https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=917926 https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=917926
