    Valve has fucked some over though. I get it. I don’t want some corporate overlord in 19, 15, 20 years just going “nope!” And deleting my purchased games.

    Imagine ford coming to your house and taking your dads 1960’s mustang. “This isn’t supported anymore” and loading it up on a flat deck trailer.

    Also a steam boy though. Valve has so far proven not to be evil to me and a majority. My deck and steam controller are easily repaired compared to the competition and very open in what you can do with them.

      Okay, I think I’m starting to get it. Thanks for the help. In my experience I don’t recall losing access to anything I “owned” from Valve.

        You could sell games. They took your ownership and right to resale. They have greatly diminished the dollar value of games and made sure a used market cannot exist.
