Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮It’s fucking nuts that service providers can just remove your purchases like this without refunds.
vv221And yet, people keep buying games from Steam. You buy DRM-ridden content, you get what you paid for.

@vv221 @gamingonlinux at least Steam doesn't rip games out of peoples' accounts and does at least have provisions in place to gracefully shut down if it were to fold...
I mean.there must be a reason people like #Steam...

Feel free to put more value in Valve’s promises than in Sony’s ones. I don’t.

Sure, it’s called "marketing". Before their aggressive marketing campaigns Steam was universally hated, for good reasons.

I don't disagree - I just say that so far I've yet to see #Steam stealing peoples' games from their accounts.
And yes, #Valve managed to get people into liking their #AlwaysOnlineDRM as a "#feature" to the point devs get harrassed for not publishing on Steam, which is more than condemnable but inexcuseable by those doing said harrassment...
