thats some standard TOS. if making a free account is a subscription, then so is making a gmail account.

  I think the point is that most people know that Google can terminate your subscription to GMail, whereas most people would be surprised to know that Valve can also terminate your subscription to Steam and lock you out of your game library. That's effectively what this article is about, Valve is complying with a new law where they must disclose to customers that they can terminate access to games that a customer already paid for because the relationship between the customer and Steam is of an on-going subscription. GoG on the other hand explicitly states that you do not have a subscription to their service and so a suspension from GoG does not revoke your access to play purchased games. In fact GoG has no means whatsoever to revoke your access to play games you purchased from GoG. It would be like going to Best Buy and buying a video game, even if in the future you decide to be Best Buy's worst enemy, or you get into a dispute with them, who knows what... Best Buy can't take away what you already bought from them because your relationship with Best Buy was that of a vendor rather than an ongoing subscription.
