    Where did you get the game from? Most platforms like steam don’t actually sell games. You pay to rent the game for life, which is different. Those platforms can change the terms of service for your rental whenever they like. If you prefer to own your games you need to visit actual shops, like GOG.

    The article makes some good points. Most people downvoting it probably just see a title that attacks their favourite game distribution platform, if there even is such a thing.

    Personally, I treat Steam like a rental service, because that’s what it is. Meaning I exclusively “buy” games on Steam at deep 80-90% discounts. So, when the enshittification inevitably hits the fan, I can jump ship without feeling like I’m loosing too much.
