    Same is true with physical. It’s just harder for them to take it away.

      I used to be an account manager for scientific software. We were pretty explicit on the limitation of support we would give on old licenses

    It’s great to see more transparency from Steam! This move could spark important discussions about digital ownership and consumer rights.
