Thanks for the yachts, my loyal users!
No, you still won't be able to own your games.

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

>>717088321
>why is owning so important?
Wouldn't you rather own your super yacht than rent it?
Gabe sure as hell does.

>>717088362
if I could sell the yacht to someone else then I'm not really renting it no matter what the contract says

>>717088321
>sells account Online
>gets your information stolen
>buyer calls bank to return money

>>717088108 (OP)
put your games on an external hard drive then?

>>717088560
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

>>717088690
Because that information is TIED to you account.
Your card information, your email and everything else.

yeah that was hard.

>>717088690
Have you?
Valve will ban any sold account the moment they find out about it.

That's not what ownership looks like.

>>717088862
Why not just pirate it then?
Why give gaben money for doing nothing but being fat and buying yachts?

>>717088864
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?

>>717088970
>well that sounds like not my problem
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.

>>717088937
So I can have then on Steam too?

How can I get a yacht?

>>717088937
>I'm pirating games that I already bought
ok retard

Being wrong very much is your problem anon.

Why does GayBen not allow me to sell games I """"""own"""""""?

>>717088864
>don't tell them
>they never find out
that was hard

>>717089113
learn2read

>>717088321
You will own nothing and be happy. Right anon?

>>717089180
no, YOU learn to read.

>>717089045
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

>>717088108 (OP)
wtf i love epic games store now!!

>>717089262
>move to Europe
That's a lot of work and effort for something as basic as selling stuff you bought with your own money.

>>717088362
If he stops paying taxes for it they will take it away, so can you say he actually owns it rather than renting it?

>>717089410
Yes.

>>717088108 (OP)
steam NEEDS to take 30% of the entire PC revenue

>>717089379
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

>>717088108 (OP)

>>717088362
No? Keeping up with a yacht is fucking expensive. Better to rent one and have the company that owns it take care of maintenance.

>>717088108 (OP)
Can't stop a gaben

>>717089601
>Dude you can just steal stuff from a store, people have devised multiple methods to get away with it
Great but I rather have legal ownership of the stuff I bought for with legal tender.

>>717089742
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.

>>717089950
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?

>>717089950
>NOT ABIDING BY EULA IS LITERALLY THE SAME AS DOING A CRIME
here we go
next up, car analogy
or food analogy

>>717090123
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.

>>717089161
>sell
AND give away. You can only buy games for other users, not gift them the ones already in your library.

>>717090347
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?

>>717090590
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.
