Tried to log in and my account is permanently suspended. I don't do anything close to breaking terms of service and have no clue why this is happening. Found this article and apparently it's not just me. Fingers crossed we get a solution quickly.

I spent a generation buying digital games and I kind of regret it. I love looking at my shelf of old games, even if I no longer have the means to play them. It’s a delight to look at them and reminisce—not just about the games, but also about my life and friends from the days when I played them.

Anyway I’ve already permanently lost access to many games as online stores have closed down. I shudder to confront the possibility of Steam not being around forever. But even owning the disc is no guarantee of playability these days. I’ve heard of a few games now whose disc/cart only partially contain the files and you absolutely need to download the rest of the game to play it. I greatly fear that in the future we will look back and find that much of this era was simply not preserved.

Pirates are always on the preservation case.

That thing about only part of the game being on the disc isn’t surprising in a world of day 1 patches that are sometimes as big or larger than the original game download, but that’s still some BS. It’s one of the reasons I keep holding out for PC versions. I have a huge Steam library, but I still download the cracked versions with all updates and if Steam ever shuts down, or a game gets delisted or made inaccessible, that version will still work.
