Microsoft pioneered the “your software is licensed, not owned” in the early 80s. Even before Steam, you didn’t own your games. Even if they are on physical media, you don’t own the software on the media; you just own the media it came on.
The problem is that I sometimes must connect to Steam to get my games, and I have to disable the domain blockers in my firewall. It sucks because Steam is worse than Google with the amount of queries, and you know those douches are selling our info.
Nothing pisses me off more than buying a product and finding out later that I have to compromise privacy to use it.

FCKGW, but yes.
This is what I keep telling people. This whole game ‘ownership’ debate is only happening because no-one ever reads the EULA.
