Whatever happened to that ruling? It’s from 11 years ago. How would I go about selling my Steam games?

Really curious what the EU would say about something like Overwatch 1.

People bought a game, they then changed the game, made it free and shut down the systems for it and changed it to Overwatch 2.

Now the game I bought doesn’t exist anymore. I don’t own anything of what I had purchased.

Does everyone not realize this article is 12 years old? Why did OP just repost it?

shit like this is why i buy as little as possible from Steam and try to do most of my purchases in GoG. I can do whatever the fuck i want with the game files, give them to whoever I want.

Account based DRM like steam was a bad idea from day one but everyone ate this fecal meal up because… convenience…
