Valve reminds Steam users they don't actually own a darn thing they buy, GOG pounces and says its games "cannot be taken away from you" thanks to offline installers

GOG previously said it wants "to ensure your gaming legacy is always in your hands"

I guess it’s just a matter of time before you subscribe to games, and you lose access when you stop paying.

    We’ve never owned the games themselves, only a license to use them (at best). Even the physical media of an older game was legally speaking a physical licence. Ownership rights in gaming started off minimal and got worse over the decades.
