not very useful for something to be legal if they’re allowed to make it impossible to do.

EU just continues paving the way for sensible tech legislation. First type C, then the world.

So you’re telling me that my offspring or a friend can’t legally inherit my Steam account as per their ToS but I could sell it to who I want for whatever (low) price I want?

There was some speculation that GameStop was going to develop a digital used games store utilizing nfts. #ToTheMoon

shit like this is why i buy as little as possible from Steam and try to do most of my purchases in GoG. I can do whatever the fuck i want with the game files, give them to whoever I want.

Account based DRM like steam was a bad idea from day one but everyone ate this fecal meal up because… convenience…

lmao

This article is from 12 years ago ffs.

This is so incredibly stupid but I don’t expect gamers to get it

This Op is a damn karma farming… the article is 12 years old

Some day Lord Gaben will sell Steam and retire. The new owner will start to push a subscription. You know it´s coming.

This is a 2012 article. Why is it being posted like it’s new news?

I read this like it’s news but the Eurogamer article is from 2012? Old sauce

If only I lived in the EU.

Lots of fantasizing about the power of EU law…Why don’t you Europeans contact Steam and tell them you bought the account from someone and see what happens…? lol

You will now see “limited” Licenses instead of unlimited ones. ie we lease this game to you for 100 years.
