Lovely. Now go tell that all the people who dump 500 $ on a new phone each few years the old one becomes obsolete.

*Sigh*

You have never truly owned a PC game in your life. No laws have changed this. All Valve was told to do was explain to customers that they are buying a license which they have been doing since the start.

The physical medium is not the thing worth $60 on a store shelf. Also game developers got way less money by selling retail than on Steam.

Buying outside of sales is both your decision and your fault.

This forum is a rip off. The same silly "I don't actually understand what I'm complaining about" threads repeated over and over and over and over.

Because they know people will pay that price to play the game. And news flash those store bought games, They're licenses too.

Remember when PC gamers were generally the smarter, nerdier kids....

You didn't seem to have an issue with it over the last 5 years with the 40+ games you already bought. Nothing has actually changed since then, so why do you object all of a sudden?

Because they never read the things they agreed to 41 times.
Which is honestly a noteworthy feat.

Tell me you don't understand marketing without telling me you don't understand marketing.

Your fellow consumers feel those prices are justified. The publishers aren't going to charge less out of the goodness of their hearts.

It is all described in the ssa you agreed to when creating your account. Best of luck, blocked, etc.

Another 1. Great. These threads are spam at this point.

OP, simply vote with ones wallet and stop buying games. Better still, don't buy at full price and wait for sales. The old days of owning physical media that you can control will not returning any time soon.

May I ask one question..... Why are you angry NOW over not owning your games. Why wasn't you angry last year or the year before, WHY NOW.... I can only guess living in blissful ignorance gave you the illusion of owning your library.
