Windows has made strides in UX design that some Linux DEs are still struggling to copy in 2021. Playing catch-up forever

That myth again that:
1. Linux users are rare
2. It's hard to develop for Linux
3. It's expensive to develop for Linux

Stay on Windows please

Why would you use Windows 10 for anything?

just support distribution systems that spit in the eye of DRM in any way, shape or form, such as GOG

What's your point? My game count is 368 in a Steam libray.

My point is: What did Valve do lately that makes you so butt-hurt against them? All that you describe has been there from day one, why does it take you 368 games to realize you don't like it?

what does that change? valve's malicious behaviour is objectively clear, it doesn't matter who's criticizing them

You think you know better than Valve's lawyers?
If not, why would they add a severability clause in the first place?

Yeah, probably you do. Think that.

If you're content with believing what companies tell you, well, let that be your way.
Be assured it's not all true, and EULAs often, very often, are not standing juristical review.
And, as said, I'd be even free to break the DRM in my country if Valve would be denying me my rights.

Okay, contact your lawyer and let me know how it goes.
I can assure you you have no idea what you're talking about. The only way to defeat Valve is to discontinue buying games on their platform and buy from their competition instead. If you actually do talk about this to any lawyer prepare to be laughed at. Steam is a platform that allows you to rent games from Valve (not buy), and there is no law, in EU or anywhere else, that can force them to provide service to you for arbitrary reasons.

Funny that people like you or nitehawk always have private profiles, I'm curious how many games you actually have in your Steam library.

I do that because I enjoy seeing control freaks being frustrated at their inability to inspect my profile at their leisure.

can't you use quotes like a normal person

By the way, Valve knows that their EULA is subject to such jurustication and may be declared void in parts, which is why they of course have a severability clause (look near the end) as well.

Look, I wish it were different too, but face it, Valve can withdraw your access to the games you're borrowing from them (you don't own them) and there's nothing you can do about it. In fact, nobody ever has.

There wasn't a single lawsuit when this kind of claim was raised. And it's not something regulated by law anyway. Terms and conditions state clearly that they reserve the right to withdraw your access to any and all games for any reason at any time.
