Thanks for the yachts, my loyal users!
No, you still won't be able to own your games.
Anonymous No.717088321 [Report] >>717088362 >>717088560 >>717089209
why is owning so important?
I can easily sell my steam account right now if someone wanted to buy it from me and the ToS would not be able to stop me
so for all intents and purposes I own that account

Wouldn't you rather own your super yacht than rent it?
Gabe sure as hell does.

if I could sell the yacht to someone else then I'm not really renting it no matter what the contract says

have you never sold an account before?
how do you manage to give out your personal info with that? do you respond honestly when asked for your birthday or something

Because that information is TIED to you account.
Your card information, your email and everything else.

Have you?
Valve will ban any sold account the moment they find out about it.

That's not what ownership looks like.

Why not just pirate it then?
Why give gaben money for doing nothing but being fat and buying yachts?

well that sounds like not my problem
as far as I know the only reason to ever want to "own" an account is to be able to resell it for a profit
so once you've sold it to some sucker and it gets banned, how would that affect you personally?

It is your problem unless the guy you sold it to is the biggest pushover who even't do something as basic as a chargeback.

I could ask for crypto payment, which cannot be chargebacked
or I could live in europe where chargebacks are not given without reason, and paypal disputes are not automatically resolved for the buyer

That's a lot of work and effort for something as basic as selling stuff you bought with your own money.

If he stops paying taxes for it they will take it away, so can you say he actually owns it rather than renting it?

steam NEEDS to take 30% of the entire PC revenue

or you could try actually selling accounts and realise that steam doesn't just willy nilly ban accounts suspected of being sold
despite what it says on the tos
and that people have devised multiple methods to prevent problems with chargebacks and people recovering accounts after selling

No? Keeping up with a yacht is fucking expensive. Better to rent one and have the company that owns it take care of maintenance.

Great but I rather have legal ownership of the stuff I bought for with legal tender.

No one's going to respect a guy with a rented super yacht.

They're all going to laugh at you at the next billionaires child rape party.

my point is that just because the store says "you don't own anything you buy from here" doesn't mean it's gonna prevent me from doing what I'm legally allowed to do
do you let a non legally binding tos dictate your life?

They are legally binding.

They might not end up actually holding up in court.
But that doesn't matter unless you have the money to successfully sue Valve to find out.

AND give away. You can only buy games for other users, not gift them the ones already in your library.

I've worked in a law firm dealing with small claims court claims
when someone gets sued because they failed to pay a 5000% interest rate payday loan, the judge usually just throws the case out
just because you signed a contract doesn't mean you are obligated to fulfill it especially if the clauses are extremely abusive like in the case of digital goods ownership eulas

How come everyone is against renting games and are for ownership EXCEPT steam cucks?
Anonymous No.717091145 [Report]

But it's the opposite here.
You don't get sued, you need to sue.

If Valve bans your account, you can't just go to the police to report a theft.
You need to hire a lawyer which will cost you more than the account is worth.
