I hate that they make out you're buying games when you're renting them

the trouble is steam library functionality dies as soon as theres no working client, so you can never delete anything. thats not steams fault, you should back up your machine

Read the fucking EULA.

Please.

I beg of you.

Please read the EULA.

@BabaBooey

Shove the EULA up your distended anus, Gespa

i summon thee

@robert from kinoplex why

because i need to make this channel active

we literally had a massive argument

and i need to bully a communist

how much more active does it need to get

It is active. Fuck off.

mainly that

lol

well im going to play a game now. at least this convo was more fun and less dumb than, for example, media matters articles on how tim pool is right wing

@Eccles I mean, you purchase the games. And you own them.

nothing touches leftivists for dumb takes.

@Gespa by his logic

if it isn't open-source

it aint "owned"

in my opinion

Steam rarely if ever deletes user accounts, the only ones it does are those that are using them for criminal activity. That’s literally the only thing you can’t do on steam.

you get the product

and it can break

Fuck even VAC bans don’t disable you from using the service, just stops you from playing on VAC protected servers

it is even clearly defined *how* it can break

But the thing is most games are steam ARE open source

Literally nobody cares

no they arent

Well not open source but open

My bad

?

DRM-free you mean?

Nah, let me explain

Because of how steam’s integrity validation works, most of the game files have to be open or otherwise easily accessible so they can be read by the server and then compared to the most recent (or in the case of betas, the cached) version so that it can be repaired or reinstalled

uhhh

no

they just run a checksum
