Most of us in Lemmy know the importance of privacy and owning your devices in a big tech owned world (me included) but for once I thought to make the opposite question and ask if there are products by them that you actually use and enjoy them.

Important to say, I mean products you use even though there are alternatives, not monopolies like YouTube.

    Agreed. I hate, however, that I don’t “own” the games, I can’t play game A on computer 1 and game B on computer 2 at the same time even though I bought game A and game B.

    • You can with Family Sharing. It also can be done a bit easier with some games that are otherwise DRM free by just running the executable from its install directory instead of through steam. Like Kerbal Space Program.

      The latter method will even sometimes allow you to play the same game on two machines over the internet. I don’t know if you can do that with Family Share.
