Comment on Reminder that you do not own digital games

  19 years. And the only bad part was Ubi. That’s it.
  Honestly, with a record like that, why would I care that Steam has had games removed?
  And, it occurs to me, in 19 years, how could they not have had games removed?

    Then why the outrage from this news story then?

    I also boycott epic. Steam is the way. But for reasons that steam is different to epic.

      I like Steam enough that I haven’t bothered with any other platform.
      I do hear good things about those other platforms, (maybe they are cheaper, and maybe they support old games better?) But all my games are in one spot on steam, and its simpler for me to keep it that way.

      It does seem that there are people really outraged by the news story. I don’t entirely understand, other than people like to get upset about things. Being outraged is engaging and takes your mind off of whatever else is bothering you.

    I can only think of the Digital Homicide library having been removed, but if you already purchased those, you have them. Those game were absolute shovelware with no artistic or entertainment value though.
