"Buy" games on Steam? Sure wish they let you own them.
Buying on steam has allowed me to play the same game for a decade on three platforms.
Some are DRM free and can be backed up at your leisure. I'm pretty sure that's up to the developer to implement or not.
It would be neat if steam let you sell a game back, but I'm not sure how to square that with "you have a drm free copy that's trivial to copy"
Obligatory GOG shill?
God forbid people want to own their shit.
Yes it's me, the one, the only who decided nobody will ever own anything.
