While I understand that I’m giving up “owning” the game, Steam has a good track record of trying to make users happy.

When Gabe Newell dies or leaves the company though, I’ll be watching closely to see who the new CEO will be and figure it out from there.

This is one of the many reasons why I prefer to buy games in Gog, although I have more games on Steam mainly because I got them on bundled deals.

The rule of thumb is that “this is why we can’t have nice things” and all things eventually become enshittified. Enjoy the nice things while they’re there, but always have contingencies.
