    I don’t think blaming Steam for society’s ills is a valid response.

      That’s not what we’re doing. Not giving steam a pass for doing the same bad shit that you hate other companies for doing isn’t putting society’s ills into steam. It’s just not being hypocritical.

        Nobody said steam was better because of their EULA, so calling Steam out for something every developer on the planet does is what’s hypocritical.

          Not nearly every developer puts DRM in their games and not every platform that distributes software says you only license the software, many let you own it

            Those platforms are in the minority.

              So let’s all band together and not purchase things from companies that don’t let us own what we bought. These companies will have to change their behavior if they see a fall in sales. Let’s make ownership the majority again
