Rules:
- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

Also like all steam applications bundles with Steam's DRM, right?
Wonder what happens when valve/steam shut down one day.
About 20 years ago when it first came about this was also a question and Valve said they would "find a way" to unlock games for everyone. Now back then, that was when they only had Valve games on Steam, and a weird ninja game that I bought but never played, setting a president for all time...
Must have been Bush... I think the word you were looking for was precedent.
Sorry yes, in my defence I was 40.1 degrees fever at the time so sentence structure didn't seem important either.
No worries. I thought it was funny.
Best case scenario it's bought, or other platforms honor a number of steam purchases as a perk. But ultimately...poof
Luckily they make a lot, have relatively low operation costs, and are a private company that doesnt need to be enshitified for share holders
