Steam is a glorified rental service. You are renting access to gaben's servers.
>b-but no but like... like it actually feels like I own the games!
That's fine but you're still just renting. Feeling like you own something =/= ownership. You should just concede the ownership argument and say, "yes, well of course I'm renting gaben's servers, because it's convenient for me to do that" without causing a ruckus about how you do actually own those digital licenses

>frogposter isn't based for once
Nobody cares about ownership of games except really poor people who have to sell their games for a cup of rice to last them a month.
I play games. Steam provides a convenient way to do it.
Fight your revolution somewhere else, faggot.

And PRESTO the game is now my possession.

If you don't download all the games you bought, you're a retard that doesn't care about ownership. If you download all your games from Steam, especially the DRM-free ones on Steam, then you do care abour game ownership.

OP is a faggot for not even mentioning GOG.com, pure ragebait

People know. PC gaming has been fucked up for so long that they just accepted it. Those who care either crack their games or use another service like GOG.

Consoles are going the same route. Shit sucks.
