    Make it so I OWN my games if a dev isn’t okay with that they can sell somewhere else.

    I feel like we might be more likely to be successful lobbying Valve to make this a thing than we are the government. Fingers still crossed as hard as they can be for Stop Killing Games going somewhere productive in the EU.

      I’d doubt that. Each publisher signs their own terms to Steam, and they likely couldn’t all be forced into a new agreement. It would reach to some new games, but it would likely lead many to consider other stores (considering a lot of them use Denuvo, piracy fears are likely high on their part).

      If you want the process to be pervasive, you could either lobby on a major level like StopKillingGames, or push more popularity of indie games that tend to be DRM-free by default (oh, and if you think there’s a lot of them on Steam, check Itch.io)
