They need to change the text on your profile - it still says "Games Owned. DLC Owned"

  Idk, maybe but it probably means you own license which grants you the right to play the game. Imo it should say "Games Licensed. DLC Licensed."

    Have fun playing with your license after company shuts down game’s central server. I personally don’t care about buying licenses. I’m interested in buying games. I’m not finding licenses particularly fun or useful for… anything, really. I could print them out and wipe a… table with them, but paper towels are better suited for that purpose.

      I'm also against licenses and I'm pro-owning games. I was just saying how Steam and games' publishers interpret it.

        Got it. Great! Sorry for my asshole reply.

      All for that - but I am rather sceptical if this is even possible anymore. Sure you can have a disk which - best case scenario - contains a game in a executable state. But I can’t remember playing a game without installing an gb sized day one patch. Do even when buying a physical copy - you probably don’t have the full thing anymore after the (whatever) server goes bye bye.

      That very much depends on the game. Multiplayer games are at the highest risk of becoming unplayable. Most single player game should in theory survive the death of the developer/publisher as long as Steam is around. Some single player games require a central server for no particularly good reason, or for some functionality that could be disabled without much loss to the game's playability. I think these are the ones that should be called out, and required to either have an end-of-life plan (a flag ready to go that disables online functionality) or a big warning "whelp this game will stop working eventually buy at your own risk".
