I dunno. Steam did it well enough. I was buying cheap games for years. I could get a kick ass GOTY game for like $5 while GameStop was still selling it used on consoles for $20.

    You do realize you don't "own" anything on Steam right? Every dollar you give them is towards a "subscription" to play the game.

    While companies like Nintendo continually kill off game accessibility, Steam doesn't really take away games from anyone. Digital distribution may not be ownership, but Steam in particular hasn't given reason to worry.

    While true for some games that require their online services. There's nothing keeping you from downloading a game and backing up the install files on your own media to play later... A lot of games will run without steam open if you just run the executable...
